This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX200, 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 SI63BX200 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 200mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX200, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63BX200 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through its 63 mm bore and G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX200, matching the stroke, force, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Upgrading to the SAI brings a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor.

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).
Ideal for packaging lines requiring corrosion resistance, using the SUS304 rod to clamp materials with a safe 935 N working load.
Diverts medium-weight goods along conveyors, utilizing the 200 mm stroke and 79 kg vertical lift capacity for reliable routing.
Drives safety guards and doors on automated machinery, benefiting from the ISO 15552 direct dimensions during maintenance upgrades.
To replace the SI63BX200, order the SAI63BX200. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and your specific mounting accessory. This unit has a SUS304 stainless rod and no magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CS1-B/DS1-B sensor. If you need position sensing, select an SAI equivalent with a magnet. For load holding, note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. Use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores are 50 mm (982 N push @0.5 MPa) and 80 mm (2513 N push @0.5 MPa).
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63BX200 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX200. It offers the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, output force, and G3/8 port, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
It features a G3/8 air port. The 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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63BX200 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
