This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X800S, 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 SID50X800S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 800mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X800S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X800S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa. This 50mm bore model has a 20mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, 30mm cushions, a G1/4 port, and a built-in magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. The SID line is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID50X800S, sharing the same interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade uses a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For this 800mm stroke, external guides are advised to prevent rod bending under side loads. The air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it is not a lock, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant to hold loads on air loss.

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 transfer carriage on a conveyor using both rod ends to push and retract equal loads, ensuring stable anti-rotation movement over the 800mm travel.
Clamps a workpiece from opposite sides simultaneously; the equal both-ways force of 1154 N @0.7 MPa provides balanced holding without eccentric stress.
To replace the discontinued SID50X800S, install the direct replacement SAID50X800S, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G1/4 porting. Both cylinders deliver equal both-ways force of 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. If sizing alternatives, the 40mm bore yields 528 N and the 63mm yields 1402 N @0.5 MPa; choose based on your equal push/pull requirements. A double-rod design is right when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because the 800mm stroke exceeds 300mm, always use external guides to manage side-load and rod-bending forces.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SID50X800S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X800S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50mm bore, 800mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting options, while adding an upgraded two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for longer life.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. The bore has a G1/4 port, a 20mm rod, and 30mm adjustable cushions at each end.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID50X800S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
