This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID50X950S, 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 SID50X950S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 950mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID50X950S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID50X950S 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, 1154 N @0.7 MPa, and 1484 N @0.9 MPa. This 50 mm bore model features a 20 mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, 30 mm adjustable cushions, G1/4 port, and a 950 mm stroke. The SID line is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID50X950S, reusing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and port size.
The SAID upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life, while the -S suffix on this unit provides a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. Because both faces use the rod-side area, the back rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously with anti-rotation benefits. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

The SAID50X950S 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 a conveyor pusher where the return stroke must move an equal load, utilizing the 825 N @0.5 MPa force in both directions.
The extending back rod simultaneously operates a secondary clamp or gauge, leveraging the anti-rotation stability of the dual-rod layout.
Handles 950 mm diverter strokes in packaging lines, requiring external guides to manage side loads over the long travel distance.
To replace the discontinued SID50X950S, install the direct replacement SAID50X950S, which matches the 50 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Size both directions by confirming the equal both-ways force (825 N @0.5 MPa) handles your load; if more force is needed, step up to the 63 mm bore (1402 N @0.5 MPa), or drop to the 40 mm bore (528 N) for lighter duties. A double-rod design is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod for a sensor cam. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 950 mm stroke, external guides are required to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID50X950S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID50X950S, offering the same 50 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade features a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for longer life and lower start-up pressure.
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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it features 30 mm adjustable cushions at both ends. Air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock for load holding.
