This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X60, 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 SI63X60 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X60, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X60 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 60mm stroke, delivering a push force of 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. It features an extruded aluminum barrel, a 20mm piston rod, and a G3/8 air port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X60, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port size.
The SAI replacement introduces an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. For applications needing load holding on air loss, the new SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI63X60 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X60 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).
Drives mid-sized machining clamps requiring a robust 1559 N push force at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy workpieces.
Powers diverting arms on production lines, utilizing the 60mm stroke for rapid sorting of goods.
To replace the SI63X60, order the SAI63X60 and verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixtures, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept a position sensor. If sensing is required, select an SAI63X60S and use current AirTAC switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. For sizing, the neighboring 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80mm bore provides 2513 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates the stroke. For load holding, use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X60 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X60, which shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, force, and G3/8 port.
It features a G3/8 air port. The force ratings are: 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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X60 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
