This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI80X550S, 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 SI80X550S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 550mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI80X550S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI80X550S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an extruded aluminum barrel, adjustable air cushions, and a 550 mm stroke. Delivering 2513 N push and 2268 N pull at 0.5 MPa through a G3/8 port, it is replaced by the SAI80X550S. This direct successor matches the exact bore, stroke, force, port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, fitting existing fixtures seamlessly.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors; the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

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).
Routes heavy pallets across transport lines using the 2513 N push force, while the 550 mm stroke clears the lane for downstream packaging machinery.
Ejects formed metal components from stamping presses, utilizing the adjustable 36 mm air cushions to decelerate the rod smoothly at stroke ends.
To replace the SI80X550S, order the SAI80X550S, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, G3/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet equates to legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI takes current AirTAC switches. If sizing down, a 63 mm bore yields 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing up to 100 mm provides 3927 N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, as cushions only decelerate; for load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. At 550 mm, prevent rod bending by guiding the load externally to avoid side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI80X550S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI80X550S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 80 mm bore, 550 mm stroke, output force, G3/8 port, and accessories, dropping straight into existing fixtures.
The 80 mm bore uses a G3/8 port. It generates 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.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI80X550S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
