This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X225, 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 SI63X225 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X225, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X225 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating via a G3/8 port. Because this exact SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a position sensor.
AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X225, a direct retaining the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, M16x1.5 rod thread, and force ratings. The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life.

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 reliable holding force for machining jigs, utilizing the 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy metal components during milling operations.
Drives sorting arms on packaging lines where the 225 mm stroke provides adequate travel to push heavy cartons from main belts onto adjacent lanes.
Acts as a robust end-stop on roller conveyors, using its 1402 N pull force to retract the stop blade and let loaded pallets pass safely.
To replace the SI63X225, order the SAI63X225 and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, CA, TC, etc.), the G3/8 port, and the 225 mm stroke. If you require position sensing, note this specific legacy SKU has no magnet and cannot take a switch, so you must select an SAI equivalent with the S magnet option and current AirTAC switches. For load holding, remember a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the 30 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. Use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants. At 225 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, so ensure proper guide alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X225 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI63X225. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting accessories, so it fits existing fixtures perfectly.
The 63 mm bore features a G3/8 air port and a 20 mm rod. It generates 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 force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X225 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
