This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80AX250S, 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 SI80 Standard Air Cylinder SI80AX250S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI80AX250S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80AX250S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 250 mm stroke and an 80 mm bore. It delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a SUS420J2 stainless steel piston rod for corrosion resistance. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI80AX250S, a direct replacement retaining the exact bore, stroke, G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI80AX250S upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. This magnet-equipped model (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the original SI line.

The SAI80AX250S 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).
Secures heavy metal workpieces during CNC machining using the 2513 N push force, while the SUS420J2 stainless rod resists cutting fluid splatter.
Applies steady downward pressure for light-duty assembly and forming tasks, safely operating within the 1508 N working load margin.
Pushes heavy pallets off a main conveyor line with a 250 mm stroke, relying on adjustable end cushions to decelerate the 80 mm bore smoothly.
To replace the SI80AX250S, order the SAI80AX250S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and M20x1.5 thread. The -S magnet allows CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches), and the -A rod specifies SUS420J2 stainless steel. Sizing both ways: the 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa (or 3518 N at 0.7 MPa), while the neighboring 63 mm bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding. At 250 mm stroke, guide rods are advised to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80AX250S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80AX250S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port, and accessories, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
The bore has a G3/8 air port. Force ratings are: 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, 4523 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80AX250S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
