This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X223S, 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 SI63X223S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 223mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X223S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X223S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 223mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa through a G3/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI63X223S, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The SI-S magnet works with CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants offer load holding.

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).
Holds workpieces securely in machining stations, utilizing its 1559N push force to maintain rigid positioning during milling or drilling operations.
Actuates routing gates on 63mm bore assembly lines, providing reliable 223mm stroke extension to redirect heavy goods between processing lanes.
Deploys robust stop arms at end-of-line conveyors, using its 1402N pull force to absorb the kinetic impact of incoming pallets safely.
To replace the SI63X223S, order the SAI63X223S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 223mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT), M16x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. If downsizing, a 50mm bore yields 982N push; if upsizing, an 80mm bore gives 2513N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use the SAIL lock variant or an external pilot check valve for held loads. Stroke is under the 300mm side-load threshold, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI63X223S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X223S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63mm bore, 223mm stroke, G3/8 port, output force, and mounting accessories exactly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G3/8 air port. 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 SAI63X223S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
