This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X450S, 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 SI63X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 450mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X450S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 450mm stroke, delivering 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa through its G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X450S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact same interface, bore, stroke, output force, and mounting accessories.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X450S 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).
Executes 450mm package routing on conveyor lines, utilizing the 1559 N push force to reliably pivot heavy cardboard flows at speed.
Actuates large safety gates or lifting stops in warehouse logistics, where the 63mm bore and G3/8 port deliver consistent clamping.
To replace the SI63X450S, order the SAI63X450S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. The -S suffix confirms your piston magnet for position sensing; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches while the legacy SI used CS1-B/DS1-B. When sizing, the 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 50mm bore gives 982 N, while an 80mm bore provides 2513 N. Because the 450mm stroke exceeds 300mm, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Remember, a plain cylinder drifts without live air; for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI63X450S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X450S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 63mm bore, 450mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting hardware, but features an upgraded two Y-shaped element piston seal.
The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 1559 N push and 1402 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 2182 N, and the theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X450S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
