This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAIJ63X500-50, 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 SIJ63 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ63X500-50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 500mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAIJ63X500-50, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SIJ63X500-50 is a discontinued double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable 450-500 mm window (the 500 mm nominal is the maximum). It features a G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30 mm adjustable air cushions. Because this SIJ model is end-of-life, the direct replacement is the SAIJ63X500-50—identical ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, force, and mountings.
The SAIJ upgrade uses an upgraded piston seal (two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life). Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch. The stop screw sets end position only; it is not a lock. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ63X500-50 carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.

The SAIJ63X500-50 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).
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site allows precise press-fit depth adjustment without machining custom spacers.
Adjusting the extend end position lets a single diverter accommodate varying package lengths on a packaging line.
The external stop screw sets a firm mechanical end position for pallets, fine-tuned within the 450-500 mm window.
To replace the discontinued SIJ63X500-50, order the direct replacement SAIJ63X500-50, keeping the same ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) and G3/8 port. Choose the 50 mm adjust window if you need on-site extend tuning between 450-500 mm. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Because the 500 mm stroke is long, mind side-load and rod-bending—use external guides to prevent premature wear. The stop screw is not a load lock; for held loads use an external rod lock.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SIJ63X500-50 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAIJ63X500-50. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 63 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, 50 mm adjust window, G3/8 port, and mounting options, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
The external stop screw provides a 50 mm adjust window, allowing you to shorten the extend stroke from the 500 mm maximum down to 450 mm. The stop sets end position and is not a load lock.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAIJ63X500-50 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
