This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X310S, 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 SI63X310S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 310mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X310S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X310S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 310 mm stroke. It delivers 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X310S, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and accessories.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The SAI family also introduces lock and valve variants (SAIL, SAIF, BSAI) absent in the original SI line. This -S model includes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X310S 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).
Actuates diverter arms on packaging lines, utilizing the 1559 N push force to redirect heavy cartons reliably at high cycling speeds.
Drives vertical clamping fixtures in machining centers, where the 79 kg calculated vertical lift capacity securely holds workpieces.
Controls heavy pallet stops on roller conveyors, using the 310 mm stroke to clear or block passing loads up to 800 mm/s.
To replace the SI63X310S, order the SAI63X310S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 310 mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -S suffix indicates a magnet for position sensing; use current AirTAC switches on the SAI replacement, or CS1-B/DS1-B on the legacy unit. Sizing both ways: a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve. Because the 310 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X310S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI63X310S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 310 mm stroke, output force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while upgrading the piston seal.
The 63 mm bore features a G3/8 port and provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 2182 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 20 mm rod with an M16x1.5 thread and 30 mm adjustable cushions.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X310S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
