This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID100X900, 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 SID100X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID100X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID100X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. This geometry means both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 100 mm, the port is G1/2, the rod thread is M20x1.5, and adjustable air cushions are 36 mm at each end. This legacy SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID100X900, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and mounting footprint.
The SAI upgrade path introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life, plus SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. For this SKU without a -S magnet, no magnetic switch can be fitted. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

The SAID100X900 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 a conveyor divert arm where the return stroke must match the extend stroke force exactly, using the back rod to mount a counterweight cam.
Powers two opposing machining heads from one piston, utilizing the equal both-ways 5153 N @0.7 MPa force to push and pull separate tools simultaneously.
To replace the discontinued SID100X900, install the direct replacement SAID100X900, matching the 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Size both ways by checking the equal push/pull force against neighbouring bores: if 5153 N @0.7 MPa is excessive, step down to an 80 mm bore (3175 N), or if more is needed, step up to 125 mm (8028 N). A double rod is right when you need equal both-ways force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to drive a second tool. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support sensing. For the 900 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID100X900 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID100X900. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G1/2 port, and equal both-ways force, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
The G1/2 port feeds a 100 mm bore with a 25 mm rod. Because it is double-rod, force is equal both ways: 3681 N @0.5 MPa, 5153 N @0.7 MPa, and 6626 N @0.9 MPa. It lacks a -S magnet so it cannot take sensors.
