This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80BX250S, 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 SI80BX250S 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 SAI80BX250S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80BX250S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring an extruded aluminum barrel and a SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. Built for a 80mm bore, it delivers 2513N push force at 0.5MPa through a G3/8 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI80BX250S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 250mm stroke, and output force.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. This -S model includes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces lock and valve variants like SAIL and BSAI that the SI line lacked.

The SAI80BX250S 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).
Uses the 2513N thrust at 0.5MPa to push heavy cartons reliably across transfer plates without stalling.
The SUS304 stainless rod resists humidity in cold storage facilities while halting 128kg vertical loads.
Leverages the 36mm adjustable air cushion at stroke end to decelerate the 80mm bore smoothly before full extension.
To replace the SI80BX250S, order the SAI80BX250S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and your specific mounting accessory. The -B rod denotes SUS304 stainless steel, and -S indicates a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches). For sizing alternatives, a 63mm bore yields 1559N push at 0.5MPa, while a 100mm bore yields 3927N. Because this is a 250mm stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80BX250S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80BX250S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, output force, and G3/8 port, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
The 80mm bore provides 2513N push and 2268N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518N push at 0.7MPa, 4523N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80BX250S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
