This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX120, 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 SI63BX120 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX120, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63BX120 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 120 mm stroke. It features a SUS304 stainless piston rod for corrosion resistance, a G3/8 port, and delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX120, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches.

The SAI63BX120 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).
Uses the SUS304 rod to secure washed components in food-grade or moist environments without surface corrosion.
Provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa to push heavy packages cleanly across transfer lines with adjustable cushions.
To replace the SI63BX120, order the SAI63BX120. It drops into existing fixtures via the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, keeping the 63 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, M16x1.5 rod thread, and G3/8 port. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, you cannot mount legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is required, switch to an SAI63X120S equivalent. When sizing, neighbouring bores (50 mm or 80 mm) offer 982 N or 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa respectively. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. At 120 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63BX120 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX120. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while upgrading the piston seal.
The 63 mm bore uses a G3/8 port. Force output is 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63BX120 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
