This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID80X250, 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 SID80X250 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID80X250, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID80X250 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston. Both faces use the rod-side area, making push and pull force equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. This model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID80X250, sharing the same 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
A double-rod design prevents piston rotation and lets the back rod drive a second tool or sensor cam. With no -S suffix, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take a switch. It uses a 25mm rod, M20x1.5 thread, and 36mm adjustable cushions. Note: a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For held loads, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

The SAID80X250 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).
Operates two opposing work heads from one piston, utilizing the equal both-ways force to machine or form parts simultaneously from both ends.
Moves pallets along a conveyor without rotational drift, using the dual-rod geometry to maintain precise alignment during dynamic 30-800 mm/s transfers.
To replace the discontinued SID80X250, install the direct replacement SAID80X250, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) without bracket changes. Size both ways by checking the equal push/pull force: if 2268 N @0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 100mm bore, or drop to 63mm (1402 N) for lighter loads. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two mechanisms synchronously. Select the -S magnet suffix if you require position sensing. For this 250mm stroke, ensure your guiding system handles side loads, and never rely on the air cushion to hold a load on air loss—use a pilot-operated check valve or external lock.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID80X250 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID80X250. It shares the same 80mm bore, 250mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, while adding an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a fixed G3/8 air port, a 25mm rod with an M20x1.5 thread, and 36mm adjustable cushions.
