This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80BX250SN, 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 SI80BX250SN 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 SAI80BX250SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80BX250SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless piston rod, an NBR seal, and a built-in magnet. Delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G3/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI80BX250SN. This direct successor matches the exact bore, stroke, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent from the SI line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI80BX250SN carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The SAI80BX250SN produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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).
Drives sorting gates on packaging lines where the 2513 N thrust at 0.5 MPa easily deflects heavy cartons.
Lifts loaded pallets vertically; the SUS304 rod resists humidity while safely handling a 128 kg load.
Secures large steel castings for machining, relying on the 36 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb impact.
To replace the SI80BX250SN, order the SAI80BX250SN. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and your specific mounting accessory. The -S magnet enables legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors (the SAI uses current AirTAC switches), while -B specifies the SUS304 rod and -N the NBR seal. Sizing both ways: a 63mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 100mm bore yields 3927 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI variants. At 250mm stroke, guide external rods to prevent side-load bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80BX250SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80BX250SN. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, force, and G3/8 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
It features a G3/8 port and provides 2513 N push / 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 SAI80BX250SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
