This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X180S, 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 SI63X180S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 180mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X180S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X180S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 180mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, operating through a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63X180S, matching the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This -S model has a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI63X180S 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 SAI63X180S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×180 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Applies the 2182N push at 0.7MPa for seating bearings or light stamping tasks within automated machinery.
Drives 180mm stroke diverters or gates to redirect moderate-weight cartons on processing lines.
To replace the SI63X180S, order the SAI63X180S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, CA, TC), the G3/8 port, the M16x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet. Sizing both ways: a 50mm bore gives 982N push at 0.5MPa, while an 80mm bore gives 2513N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for holding. With a 180mm stroke, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X180S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X180S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63mm bore, 180mm stroke, force, G3/8 port, and mounting fixtures.
The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 port. Force output is 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, 2805N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. Speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X180S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
