This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X780S, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.

The AirTAC Airtac SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X780S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 780mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X780S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X780S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 780mm stroke. Delivering 982 N push at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI50X780S. This direct successor matches the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force and port size.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants absent from the SI line. The SI50X780S uses CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X780S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X780S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Pushes packages across a 780mm conveyor lane transfer using the 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Ejects formed parts from a press bed, relying on the 30mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate at stroke end.
To replace the SI50X780S, order the SAI50X780S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 50mm bore, 780mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT threads), M16x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet for position sensing. If you need more force, the 63mm bore offers 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is required, the 40mm bore provides 628 N. Because the 780mm stroke is long, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts without air and its cushion only decelerates; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X780S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X780S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50mm bore, 780mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 50mm bore uses a G1/4 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 982 N push and 825 N pull. At 0.7 MPa push is 1374 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X780S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
