This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80BX160S, 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 SI80BX160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI80BX160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80BX160S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an 80 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. It features a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (the -B option) for corrosion resistance, a built-in magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, a G3/8 air port, and delivers 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI80BX160S, matching the bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. Note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or use an external pilot check valve.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAI80BX160S 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).
Ideal for pushing heavy pallets or workpieces off a main conveyor line, utilising the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably overcome sliding friction.
The SUS304 piston rod (-B option) suits washdown or mildly corrosive CNC machining environments where actuating clamps and forming tools requires high reliability.
To replace the discontinued SI80BX160S, order the SAI80BX160S. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 160 mm stroke, the G3/8 port, and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. If sizing up or down, neighbouring bores are 63 mm (2182 N push @0.7 MPa) and 100 mm (5497 N push @0.7 MPa). The -B rod denotes SUS304 stainless steel; default is carbon steel. For load holding on air loss, the SAIL or BSAI lock variants are required, as standard cushions only decelerate. At 160 mm stroke, rod bending is minimal, but ensure adequate guide support to prevent side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI80BX160S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80BX160S. It features the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while upgrading the piston seal.
The 80 mm bore has a G3/8 air port. The 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 maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80BX160S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
