This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID63X250, 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 SID63X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID63X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID63X250 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. The bore dictates a G3/8 air port, a 20 mm rod, and M16x1.5 threads. This legacy model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID63X250, matching the stroke, force, and mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept a reed switch. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant to hold loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAID63X250 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAID63X250 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 precision gauge from both ends to measure part dimensions, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent measuring pressure without rotational drift.
Employs the rear rod extension to mount a secondary cam or linkage, operating a diverter gate on a parallel conveyor line simultaneously with the main push action.
To replace the discontinued SID63X250, specify the SAID63X250, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G3/8 port. A double-rod design is chosen when you need equal force both ways or require a back rod to drive a second tool. If sizing up or down, check the 80 mm bore (2268 N) or 50 mm bore (825 N) for your equal-force requirements. For this 250 mm stroke, side-load alignment is critical. This non-magnetic SKU cannot support sensors; add the -S suffix on the SAID if switch tracking is required.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID63X250 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X250, which shares the same 63 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI family also upgrades the piston seal for longer life.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are equal at 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore size sets the air port at G3/8. Note that cushions only decelerate; an external rod lock is required to hold loads.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID63X250 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
