This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X850, 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 SI50X850 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 850mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X850, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X850 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an 850 mm stroke and 50 mm bore, delivering 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI50X850, matching the exact bore, stroke, G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread and ISO 15552 mounting interface. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept a sensor.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the temperature limit to 150 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X850 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 SAI50X850 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 transfer lines using the 850 mm stroke, relying on the 982 N thrust to overcome friction during routing.
Clears stamped parts from press beds, utilizing the 30 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the payload at stroke end.
To replace the discontinued SI50X850, order the SAI50X850. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G1/4 air port, and the M16x1.5 rod thread. Because this 850 mm stroke exceeds 300 mm, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Sizing both ways: the 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the neighboring 63 mm bore offers 1559 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. This non-magnet model cannot take a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X850 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI50X850, a current-production ISO 15552 cylinder with the same 50 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The bore is 50 mm with a G1/4 port. Force output is 982 N push and 825 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X850 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
