This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI63X950S, 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 SI63X950S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 950mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI63X950S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI63X950S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 63mm bore and 950mm stroke. It delivers 1559N push force at 0.5MPa via a G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI63X950S, a direct sharing the exact interface, bore, stroke, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAI63X950S 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 workpieces between machining stations over a 950mm travel distance using its 1559N thrust at 0.5MPa.
Actuates large press fixtures, where the 30mm adjustable air cushions decelerate the heavy 63mm piston smoothly.
To replace the SI63X950S, order the SAI63X950S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M16x1.5 rod thread. If you need less force, the 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa; for more power, the 80mm bore provides 2513N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use the SAIL lock variant or an external pilot check valve for load holding. Because the 950mm stroke is long, prevent rod bending by using an external guide to absorb side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI63X950S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI63X950S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 63mm bore, 950mm stroke, 1559N force, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
It features a G3/8 air port. At 0.5MPa it pushes 1559N and pulls 1402N. At 0.7MPa push is 2182N, and at 0.9MPa it is 2805N. The theoretical maximum force is 318kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI63X950S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
