This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X175SH, 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 SI63X175SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X175SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X175SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 175 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, features a G3/8 port, and includes a Viton H high-temperature seal rated for 0 to 150 C. The direct replacement is the SAI63X175SH, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

The SAI63X175SH 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).
Handles 79 kg vertical lift loads in molding lines where the Viton H seal survives 0-150 C ambient heat near heated platens.
Provides 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa to shift dense pallets or workpieces reliably between automated processing stations.
Generates up to 318 kgf maximum force at 1.0 MPa for securing heavy fabrication components during machining operations.
To replace the SI63X175SH, order the SAI63X175SH. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and your specific mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, and the -H Viton H seal handles 0-150 C environments. Sizing both ways: a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates; for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 175 mm the side-load risk is low, but maintain guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X175SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X175SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting fixtures exactly.
The 63 mm bore uses a G3/8 port. 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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X175SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
