This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X590S, 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 SI63X590S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 590mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X590S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X590S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 590 mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa via a G3/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI63X590S. This direct successor matches the bore, stroke, force, and mounting interface exactly.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. It also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants absent from the SI line. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2, or SUS304.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X590S 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).
Pushes packages across transfer lines using the full 590 mm travel, relying on external guides to prevent rod bending during lateral extension.
Shifts machining pallets between sequential stations, taking advantage of the adjustable 30 mm air cushions to decelerate loads smoothly.
To replace the SI63X590S, order the SAI63X590S, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 590 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting accessory. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, though the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing down, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing up, an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. For the 590 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The standard cylinder does not hold load without air; use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for secure holding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X590S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X590S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 590 mm stroke, output force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This 63 mm bore cylinder features a G3/8 air 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 maximum of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
