This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X450S, 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 SID50X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X450S is a discontinued 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, yielding equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The bore is 50 mm, the rod is Ø20 mm, the port is G1/4, and the rod-end thread is M16x1.5. It has a 450 mm stroke, a 30 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
The direct replacement is the SAID50X450S, sharing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and force. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

The SAID50X450S 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 synchronized clamps or grippers from a single piston, using both extending rods to pick and place parts on a conveyor line simultaneously.
The twin rods prevent platform twist without needing external linear bearings.
Uses the rear exiting rod to carry a magnet cam past legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, providing precise end-of-stroke confirmation in tight spaces.
To replace the discontinued SID50X450S, install the SAID50X450S direct. It matches the 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both ways by checking the equal 825 N force at 0.5 MPa; if less force is needed, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N, and if more is needed, the 63 mm bore offers 1402 N. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools. The -S magnet suits legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For the 450 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID50X450S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X450S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 50 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force. The SAI family also adds upgraded piston seals and SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Being a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s and features a 30 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss.
