This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X900, 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 SID50X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 900mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 900 mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, push and pull force are equal at 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID50X900, matching the G1/4 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable cushion. The SAI upgrade uses a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
This non-magnet SKU cannot accept a sensor. The rear rod can drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—cushions only decelerate—so use an external rod lock for held loads.

The SAID50X900 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).
Simultaneously pushes a part onto an outbound conveyor while pulling an empty pallet into the load position, utilizing the equal both-ways force to halve cycle time.
Secures a workpiece from both ends using the dual rods to prevent torsional twist during machining, ensuring high repeatability without external guides.
Replace the discontinued SID50X900 directly with the SAID50X900, reusing the existing ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Size both directions by equal force: if 1154 N @0.7 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 63 mm bore (1962 N), or drop to the 40 mm bore (739 N) if lower. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools from one piston. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot mount reed switches; add external sensors if needed. For the 900 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID50X900 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X900. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 50 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal both-ways force. The SAI family also adds upgraded piston seals and lock variants like SAIL and BSAI.
Force is equal both ways: 825 N @0.5 MPa, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4, the rod thread is M16x1.5, and adjustable cushions are 30 mm at each end. Note that air cushions only decelerate; they do not hold loads on air loss.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID50X900 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
