This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X60SFA, 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 SI63X60SFA 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 SAI63X60SFA, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X60SFA is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 60mm stroke. Delivering 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI63X60SFA. This direct successor matches the exact FA flange mounting, M16x1.5 rod thread, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. It also adds lock and valve variants (SAIL, BSAI, SAIF) absent in the SI line. The built-in magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while a Viton H seal option raises operating temperatures to 150C.

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).
Secures heavy metal components during machining operations, utilizing the 1559N push force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting loads.
Actuates routing gates on high-speed material handling lines, providing reliable 60mm strokes to redirect heavy totes efficiently.
Deploys robust stopping blades at the end of gravity roller conveyors, safely halting pallets weighing up to the 79kg vertical lift threshold.
To replace the SI63X60SFA, order the SAI63X60SFA. Verify the ISO 15552 interface, 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, G3/8 port, and FA flange mounting. The -S magnet allows use of legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). If sizing up, the 80mm bore yields 2513N at 0.5MPa; if sizing down, the 50mm bore yields 982N. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air, as cushions only decelerate. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2, or SUS304.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X60SFA is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X60SFA. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 63mm bore, 60mm stroke, G3/8 port, and FA flange mounting.
The 63mm bore features a G3/8 port. It delivers 1559N push and 1402N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, 2805N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 318kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X60SFA replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
