This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID80X500, 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 SID80X500 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID80X500, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID80X500 is a double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder with a 500 mm stroke and 80 mm bore. A rod exits both ends on one piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area, so push and pull force are equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a G3/8 air port, a 25 mm rod, M20x1.5 rod-end thread, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. This legacy model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID80X500, which reuses the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and porting.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life, while ratings remain unchanged. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept a magnetic switch. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants for held loads.

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 diverter with identical push and pull force of 2268 N @0.5 MPa in both directions, ensuring consistent actuation regardless of travel direction.
Uses the second protruding rod to drive a secondary operation or mount a sensor cam, maximizing the 500 mm stroke workspace without extra valves.
To replace the discontinued SID80X500, install the direct replacement SAID80X500, matching the 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting footprint (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). When sizing both ways, verify the equal both ways force of 2268 N @0.5 MPa meets your requirement, or step to neighbouring bores (63 mm or 100 mm) to scale the 1402 N or 3681 N @0.5 MPa forces. A double-rod design is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam or drive two tools. For the 500 mm stroke, add external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. Choose an -S magnet suffix if you need sensing, as this no-S SKU cannot take a switch.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SID80X500 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID80X500, which matches the 80 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways (double-rod): 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-800 mm/s, and it features 36 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
