This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X50, 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 SID50X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X50 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). Because both faces use the identical rod-side annular area, push and pull outputs match exactly. This discontinued model features a 50mm bore, 20mm piston rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, 30mm adjustable cushions, and a fixed G1/4 air port.
The direct replacement is the SAID50X50, which preserves the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. The upgraded SAI family utilizes a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

The SAID50X50 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 flights simultaneously using both rod ends, ensuring perfectly timed material transfer without phase drift.
Applies 825 N of equal clamping force on both strokes, using the dual rods to prevent platen twist during precision seating tasks.
Mounts a gripper on the front rod and a secondary cam on the back rod to actuate a separate release mechanism within the same stroke.
To replace the discontinued SID50X50, install the direct replacement SAID50X50, which matches the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket machining. Size both directions by the equal force curve: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, or step down to a 40mm bore (528 N) / up to a 63mm bore (1402 N) if your payload shifts. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. Because this non-magnetic SKU cannot carry a sensor cam, add an external -S magnet sleeve if switching detection is required. For this 50mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal, but any stroke over 300mm requires careful guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID50X50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X50, sharing the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N at 0.5 MPa, 1154 N at 0.7 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa. The fixed air port is G1/4, with a 20mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID50X50 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
