This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X120S, 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 SI63X120S 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 SAI63X120S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X120S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 120mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X120S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The SAI family also introduces lock and valve variants (SAIL, BSAI, SAIF) absent in the SI line.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X120S 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).
Secures mid-weight workpieces with 1559N of push force at 0.5MPa, ideal for machining and welding jigs.
Drives diverter arms on packaging lines where a 120mm stroke and 79kg vertical lift capacity handle heavy goods.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop mechanism for pallet accumulation zones requiring durable ISO 15552 mounting.
To replace the SI63X120S, order the SAI63X120S ensuring the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and magnet (-S) match your fixture. The SAI accepts current AirTAC switches, whereas the legacy SI used CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that plain cylinders drift without live air; for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Because this is a 120mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always verify rod alignment.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X120S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI63X120S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63mm bore, 120mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting accessories exactly.
The 63mm bore features a G3/8 air port and M16x1.5 rod thread. At 0.5MPa it provides 1559N push and 1402N pull force. At 0.7MPa push is 2182N, and at 0.9MPa it is 2805N. The theoretical maximum force is 318kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X120S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
