This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX1000S, 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.
Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S
The AirTAC Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX1000S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S
The AirTAC SI63BX1000S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX1000S, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, output force, and stroke.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants. This SI unit includes a magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Where the Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Drives 1000 mm pusher arms on packaging lines to reroute heavy cartons between parallel conveyor belts.
High-Reach Material Lift
Elevates tiered storage trays in automated warehousing, utilizing the 79 kg vertical lift capacity safely.
Stainless Rod Actuation
Actuates tooling stages in humid washdown environments where the SUS304 rod prevents corrosion.
Replacing the Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S with the SAI63BX1000S
To replace the SI63BX1000S, order the SAI63BX1000S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 1000 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting accessory. The -B suffix specifies the SUS304 rod, and -S confirms the piston magnet. Sizing options: a 50 mm bore yields 982 N [email protected], while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI variant. Because the 1000 mm stroke is long, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAI63BX1000S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX1000S FAQ
Yes, the SI63BX1000S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX1000S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
It uses a G3/8 port. Force ratings are: 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.
