This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63AX135S, 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 SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63AX135S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 135mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63AX135S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63AX135S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 135mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX135S, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, and mounting. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This specific unit includes the -A SUS420J2 stainless piston rod for corrosion resistance and the -S magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
The SAI family also introduces variants the SI lacked, such as the SAIL air-released lock, SAIF built-in valve, and BSAI clamp-lock. If you need to hold a load without live air, note that a plain cylinder drifts; the cushion only decelerates. You would need the SAIL/BSAI variant or an external pilot check valve.

The SAI63AX135S 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).
Ideal for packaging machines where the SUS420J2 rod resists washdown moisture while providing 1559N of clamping thrust.
Actuates diverters on medium-duty conveyors, using the 135mm stroke to push products cleanly into sorting lanes.
To replace the SI63AX135S, order the SAI63AX135S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 135mm stroke, the G3/8 port, and your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). This unit has the -S magnet (for CS1-B/DS1-B switches) and the -A SUS420J2 stainless rod; specify these on the SAI order. Sizing both ways: a 50mm bore gives 982N push at 0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore gives 2513N. For load holding, a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Since the 135mm stroke is under 300mm, rod bending is minimal, but always guide external loads to prevent side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63AX135S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX135S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63mm bore, 135mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
The bore is 63mm with a G3/8 air port. Force output is 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, 2805N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63AX135S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
