This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID100X50, 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 Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID100X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID100X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID100X50 is a discontinued ISO 15552 double-acting double-rod cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. Both faces use the rod-side area, so push and pull force are equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAID100X50, matching the 100mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting interface. The SAI family uses an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because the second rod drives an external cam or two tools simultaneously while resisting rotation, this configuration is highly stable. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the 36mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The SAID100X50 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).
Drives two opposing tools simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal 5153 N @0.7 MPa force in both directions for balanced machining operations.
Transfers workpieces on a conveyor with high torsional stability, using the twin rods exiting both ends to prevent mechanical rotation during transit.
Lifts balanced loads vertically where the equal push and pull forces ensure smooth operation without the asymmetric force drop of single-rod cylinders.
To replace the discontinued SID100X50, install the direct replacement SAID100X50, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) and G1/2 port. Size both ways by checking neighbour bores: the 80mm bore yields 2268 N @0.5 MPa, while the 125mm bore yields 5734 N @0.5 MPa, but the 100mm bore provides an equal 3681 N in both directions. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support sensing; add external switches if needed. For this 50mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke >=300, ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SID100X50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID100X50, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 100mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/2 port, and mounting hardware.
Force is equal both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a fixed G1/2 air port, a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, and 36mm adjustable air cushions.
