This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80X540S, 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 SI80X540S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 540mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI80X540S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80X540S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an extruded aluminum barrel, delivering 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa through its G3/8 port. Because this legacy SI series is end-of-life, AirTAC provides the direct replacement: the SAI80X540S. It maintains the same 80 mm bore, 540 mm stroke, M20x1.5 rod thread, and mounting interface, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade features an improved piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. The original SI-S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

The SAI80X540S 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).
Actuates heavy diverters on packaging lines, using the 540 mm stroke to push standard pallets cleanly off the main conveyor belt.
Ejects formed metal parts from hydraulic presses, relying on adjustable end cushions to decelerate the rod before impact.
To replace the SI80X540S, order the SAI80X540S and verify your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.), G3/8 port threads (PT/G/NPT), and the -S magnet requirement. The SAI uses current AirTAC switches instead of the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B. When sizing, neighboring bores offer alternatives: a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore yields 3927 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Because the 540 mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80X540S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80X540S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 80 mm bore, 540 mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port, and mounting interface.
The 80 mm bore delivers 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. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s, with a 36 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80X540S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
