This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX225S, 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 SI63BX225S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX225S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63BX225S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, and a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. Generating 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced direct by the SAI63BX225S. This upgrade retains the exact G3/8 port, M16x1.5 thread, and mounting interface, but introduces an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while a Viton H seal option can elevate the operating temperature range up to 150 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI63BX225S 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 SAI63BX225S 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).
Ideal for packaging equipment requiring the -B SUS304 rod for corrosion resistance while delivering 1559 N push force.
Provides robust 225 mm stroke movement for diverting medium-weight goods along processing lines at 30-800 mm/s.
To replace the SI63BX225S, order the SAI63BX225S to get the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, and G3/8 port. Retain your existing mounting accessories and specify the -B SUS304 rod and -S magnet. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1559 N; if undersized, the neighbouring 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Remember a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a pilot check valve or SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding. At 225 mm stroke, guide external rods to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63BX225S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX225S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while upgrading the piston seal.
It features a G3/8 air port. The force output is 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 maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The speed range is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63BX225S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
