This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X240S, 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 SI63X240S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 240mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X240S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X240S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 63mm bore, 240mm stroke, and a G3/8 port. Delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the direct replacement SAI63X240S, which shares identical mounting, output, and stroke dimensions.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and longevity. The original -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X240S 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).
Provides 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy workpieces during machining operations.
Uses the 240mm stroke to push medium-weight cartons off a main production line onto secondary routing lanes.
To replace the SI63X240S, order the SAI63X240S. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the G3/8 port, the M16x1.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. Sizing checks: a 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80mm bore yields 2513 N. Note that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, specify an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 240mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending risks are moderate, so guide the load to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X240S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X240S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63mm bore, 240mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting fixtures.
The G3/8 port bore delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X240S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
