This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID63X900, 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 SID63X900 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 900mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID63X900, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID63X900 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder with a 63mm bore and 900mm stroke. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal (1402N @0.5MPa). This legacy unit is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID63X900, matching the G3/8 port, M16x1.5 thread, and 30mm cushions. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure.
Because the second rod acts as an anti-rotation guide and can drive a second tool simultaneously, double-rod designs excel in compact synchronous setups. Note this SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept magnetic switches. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; cushions only decelerate near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAID63X900 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAID63X900 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 two parallel conveyor pickup heads at once using both extending rods, keeping equal force during part transfer.
The dual-rod architecture prevents piston twisting during vertical pressing, maintaining precise alignment without external guides.
To replace the discontinued SID63X900, install the direct replacement SAID63X900, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without machining. Size both ways by checking the equal push/pull force: 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, 2523N @0.9MPa. If this is insufficient, step up to the 80mm bore; if oversized, step down to the 50mm bore. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation resistance or must drive two tools from one piston. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take sensors. For the 900mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID63X900 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X900, which shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 900mm stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting options. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
Force is equal both ways: 1402N @0.5MPa, 1962N @0.7MPa, and 2523N @0.9MPa. The 63mm bore uses a G3/8 port, a 20mm rod with M16x1.5 thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. Speed is 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAID63X900 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
