This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID40X200S, 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 B04-SID Construction Machinery Special ISO Standard Cylinder B04-SID40X200S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID40X200S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID40X200S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, yielding equal push and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa. The B04- prefix marks this as AirTAC's construction-machinery dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID40X200S with a 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and G1/4 port. This legacy model is discontinued and is fully replaced by the direct replacement SAID40X200S, which retains the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface and bore dimensions.
The double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam, while the ISO 15552 mounting footprint allows direct reuse of existing brackets. The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.

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 synchronized positioning links on heavy equipment where equal push/pull force and anti-rotation resistance handle reversing loads on the construction site.
Regulates jaw gap settings on material handlers, using the rear rod to mount a position cam while maintaining consistent clamping force both ways.
Modulates flow gates on asphalt pavers, benefiting from the double-rod geometry to maintain balanced metering forces despite varying aggregate back-pressure.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID40X200S, specify the direct replacement SAID40X200S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface. When sizing, ensure the equal both-ways force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa (739 N at 0.7 MPa) meets your load requirements; if more force is needed, step up to the 50 mm bore. A double-rod cylinder is the right choice when you need equal force in both directions, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to drive a second tool. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC styles. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches). For strokes of 300 mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent guide wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID40X200S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X200S. The B04- prefix simply marks it as the construction-machinery dedicated variant of the base SID40X200S; mechanically, it is identical. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting options, but uses an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull force are equal both ways: 528 N at 0.5 MPa, 739 N at 0.7 MPa, and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
