This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63AX850S, 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 SI63AX850S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 850mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63AX850S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63AX850S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 850mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa through a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX850S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force, and porting. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life.
This specific unit has the SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod (-A) and a built-in magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.

The SAI63AX850S 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 heavy pallets laterally across transfer lines using the 850mm stroke and 1559N push force at 0.5MPa.
Drives tooling in humid washdown cells using the SUS420J2 rod option, with the magnet tracking position.
To replace the SI63AX850S, order the SAI63AX850S. It drops directly into existing ISO 15552 fixtures with identical 63mm bore, 850mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, G3/8 port, and 30mm cushions. Confirm your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and that the -S magnet is specified for current AirTAC switches. If you need more force, the 80mm bore offers 2513N push at 0.5MPa; if less is acceptable, the 50mm bore provides 982N. Because the 850mm stroke is long, prevent rod bending by using external guides to manage side loads. For applications requiring load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant, as standard cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63AX850S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63AX850S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 850mm stroke, G3/8 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 port. Theoretical forces are 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, 2805N push at 0.9MPa, and a maximum of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63AX850S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
