This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X175, 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 SID50X175 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X175, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X175 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal force in both directions (825 N at 0.5 MPa). This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot carry a sensor. It is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID50X175, retaining the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm cushions.
The SAI upgrade features a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAID50X175 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

The SAID50X175 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 opposing conveyor gates simultaneously with equal push and pull force, preventing material jamming during high-speed sorting.
Powers two opposing machining heads from a single piston, ensuring perfectly mirrored part profiles without requiring a second cylinder.
To replace the discontinued SID50X175, install the SAID50X175 directly—it matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. Because force is equal both ways, verify your push and pull requirements against the 825 N (@0.5 MPa) rating; if more force is needed, step up to the 63 mm bore, or drop to 40 mm if less is required. Choose a double-rod design when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. As this SKU lacks the -S magnet, add external sensors if needed. For stroke lengths of 300 mm or greater, carefully manage side-load alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID50X175 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X175, which shares the identical ISO 15552 interface, 175 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting options.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The G1/4 port and 30 mm adjustable cushions govern these dynamics.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID50X175 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
