This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63BX475, 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 SI63BX475 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 475mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63BX475, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63BX475 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 475mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI63BX475. This SUS304 stainless-rod variant resists corrosion, but lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor.
The SAI63BX475 is a direct replacement sharing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force and port. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63BX475 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).
Actuates routing gates on washdown conveyor lines where the SUS304 rod prevents corrosion.
Lowers 79 kg guided platens using the 1559 N push force, requiring external load supports.
Pushes parts out of a machining zone over 475mm, needing external guides to stop rod bending.
To replace the SI63BX475, order the SAI63BX475. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the G3/8 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, CA, TC). Because this SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; if sensing is needed, select an SAI model with an S suffix. The -B rod is SUS304 stainless steel. For sizing alternatives, a 50mm bore gives 982 N [email protected], while an 80mm bore gives 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Finally, at 475mm stroke, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load stress.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63BX475 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63BX475, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 475mm stroke, output force, and G3/8 port. You simply order the SAI equivalent.
It features a G3/8 air port and delivers 1559 N push / 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. The rod is SUS304 stainless steel, and it operates at 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63BX475 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
