This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX300SH, 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 SI63 Standard Cylinder SI63BX300SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 300mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX300SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63BX300SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 300 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, features a SUS304 stainless steel rod (-B) for corrosion resistance, a high-temperature Viton H seal (-H) rated for 0 to 150 C, and a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX300SH, which retains the exact same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and output force.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. The original SI magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family uses current AirTAC switches and adds lock variants like SAIL and BSAI absent from the SI line.

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).
Drives mechanisms in hot environments up to 150 C using the Viton H seal, ideal for packaging heat tunnels or drying ovens.
Uses the SUS304 stainless rod to push or lift parts in washdown zones and chemical processing areas without rusting.
Handles 300 mm routing or sorting tasks on production lines, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending over the long stroke.
To replace the SI63BX300SH, order the SAI63BX300SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). Retain the -S magnet for position sensing and the -B SUS304 rod for wet environments. Because this is a 300 mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load forces. If sizing up or down, neighboring bores are 50 mm (982 N push @0.5 MPa) and 80 mm (2513 N push @0.5 MPa). Note that a standard cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63BX300SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX300SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
The G3/8 port bore delivers a push force of 1559 N and pull of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, 2805 N at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63BX300SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
