This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63AX230S, 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 SI63AX230S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 230mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63AX230S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63AX230S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 230mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port, this legacy unit is replaced by the SAI63AX230S. The SAI direct maintains identical ISO 15552 mounting, bore, and force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. This specific SI63AX230S includes an SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A) and a magnet (-S) for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For load holding, note that cushions only decelerate; use SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI63AX230S 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 | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63AX230S 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).
Holds workpieces securely during machining using the 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with the SUS420J2 rod resisting coolant corrosion.
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines where the 230mm stroke and 30-800 mm/s speed provide swift, reliable product sorting.
To replace the SI63AX230S, order the SAI63AX230S. Confirm the ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 230mm stroke, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 thread. Retain the -A SUS420J2 rod and -S magnet (SAI uses current AirTAC switches). For sizing, neighboring bores offer 982 N (50mm) or 2513 N (80mm) at 0.5 MPa. At 230mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for held loads, use the SAIL lock, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63AX230S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX230S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63mm bore, 230mm stroke, force, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
The 63mm bore features a G3/8 air port. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63AX230S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
