This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63AX270, 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 SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63AX270 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 270mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63AX270, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63AX270 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 270 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX270, which matches the exact interface, stroke, force and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants the SI lacked. This SKU has a SUS420J2 stainless rod (-A) but no magnet, so it cannot take CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI63AX270 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 SAI63AX270 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).
Secures mid-weight machined parts with 1559 N push force, while the SUS420J2 rod resists coolant corrosion.
To replace this SI63AX270, order the SAI63AX270. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 270 mm stroke, G3/8 port and SUS420J2 rod. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; if sensing is needed, specify an SAI63AX270S. For sizing, a 50 mm bore gives 982 N push @0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore gives 2513 N. At 270 mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold load without air; for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63AX270 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX270. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63 mm bore, 270 mm stroke, G3/8 port and mounting interface.
It uses a G3/8 port and provides 1559 N push / 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 SAI63AX270 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
