This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X250SFB, 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 SI63X250SFB is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X250SFB, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X250SFB is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 250 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X250SFB, a direct upgrade sharing the exact same interface, bore, stroke, output force, and FB flange mounting.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

The SAI63X250SFB 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).
Applies 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for seating bearings, stamping light sheet metal, or clinching components in automated fixtures.
Uses the 250 mm stroke to push heavy pallets onto secondary conveyor lanes, relying on the FB flange to withstand lateral shifting loads.
To replace the SI63X250SFB, order the SAI63X250SFB. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and FB flange accessory. The -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). Sizing both ways: a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. At 250 mm stroke, check side-load and rod-bending limits, using a guide to prevent binding. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A), and SUS304 (B); seals include Viton H for high temp.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X250SFB is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X250SFB. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port, and FB flange, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
The 63 mm bore features a G3/8 port and M16x1.5 rod thread. It delivers 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 max force of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
