This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID32X500S, 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.
Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID32X500S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S
The AirTAC SID32X500S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force remain equal at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID32X500S. It shares the same 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
With a 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 thread, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Note that air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S Is Used
Dual-Tool Transfer
Simultaneously drives two opposing grippers to pick and place parts from both ends of the 500 mm stroke with equal 345 N force.
Symmetric Gauge Push
Uses the twin rods exiting both ends to push opposing measuring stops, ensuring parallel alignment without rotational drift.
Cam-Actuated Sensing
The rear rod carries a sensor cam, allowing external position tracking while the front rod performs the primary work.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S with the SAID32X500S
To replace the discontinued SID32X500S, install the direct replacement SAID32X500S, reusing the existing ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. When sizing, verify equal both-ways force: this 32 mm bore provides 345 N @0.5 MPa. If higher force is needed, step up to a 40 mm bore (528 N @0.5 MPa). A double-rod design is ideal when driving two tools or needing an anti-rotation back rod for a sensor cam. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For this 500 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side loads. Never rely on cushions for load holding; add a pilot-operated check valve.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID32X500S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID32X500S FAQ
Yes, the SID32X500S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID32X500S, which matches the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Force is equal both ways at 345 N @0.5 MPa, 483 N @0.7 MPa, and 621 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/8, the rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 thread, and speed ranges 30-800 mm/s.
