This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80X250SH, 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 SI80X250SH 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 SAI80X250SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80X250SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 250 mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced direct by the SAI80X250SH. The SAI matches the 80 mm bore, stroke, G3/8 port and mounting interface, fitting existing fixtures. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure.
This -SH variant includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches and a Viton H seal for 0-150 C high-temperature environments. The SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.

The SAI80X250SH 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 steel workpieces during machining, utilizing the 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa to prevent deflection under cutting loads.
Actuates heavy-duty routing gates on 250 mm strokes to redirect loaded pallets between parallel packaging lines.
To replace the SI80X250SH, order the SAI80X250SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT), Viton H seal and magnet for current AirTAC switches. For sizing, neighbouring bores are 63 mm (1559 N push @0.5 MPa) and 100 mm (3927 N push @0.5 MPa). The 250 mm stroke is standard, but at this length ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For secure holding, use an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80X250SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80X250SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 80 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port and mounting interface.
The bore is 80 mm with a G3/8 air port. Force output is 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80X250SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
