This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X600SH, 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 SI63X600SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 600mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X600SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X600SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63 mm bore and 600 mm stroke. Delivering 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, it features a G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The direct replacement is the SAI63X600SH, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, force, and stroke.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. The -H option specifies a Viton seal for 0-150 C environments.

| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X600SH 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 large routing gates on packaging lines, utilizing the 600 mm travel to shift products between parallel conveyors smoothly.
Pushes molded components out of heated zones using the Viton -H seal, enduring 150 C ambient temperatures without degrading.
To replace the SI63X600SH, order the SAI63X600SH. It drops into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 63 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and magnet. For sizing, the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; dropping to a 50 mm bore gives 982 N, while an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. At 600 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. This plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding, or select the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. The Viton -H seal handles 0-150 C heat.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X600SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X600SH. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 63 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The 63 mm bore features a G3/8 port and provides 1559 N push / 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 of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X600SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
