This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI50X90S, 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 SI50 Standard Cylinder SI50X90S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 90mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI50X90S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI50X90S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 50mm bore and 90mm stroke. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI50X90S, retaining identical interface dimensions, force, and mounting fixtures.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S SKU includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI50X90S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The SAI50X90S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×90 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines where 982N push force reliably redirects cartons up to 50kg at moderate 30-800mm/s speeds.
Provides secure holding pressure for mid-sized machining fixtures, utilizing the 825N pull force to retract clamps quickly.
Controls descent and stopping mechanisms for material handling lifts, safely managing vertical loads around 50kg.
To replace this SI50X90S, order the SAI50X90S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 90mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: the 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa, while the neighboring 40mm bore offers 628N and the 63mm bore provides 1559N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI50X90S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI50X90S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 50mm bore, 90mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures for a seamless upgrade.
The 50mm bore features a G1/4 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, 1767N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 200kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI50X90S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
