This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement B04-SAID40X450S, 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-SID40X450S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the B04-SAID40X450S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B04-SID40X450S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, making push and pull force equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. The B04- prefix designates this as a construction-machinery dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the base SID40X450S with a 40 mm bore, G1/4 port, and M12x1.25 rod thread. This legacy model is discontinued and replaced directly by the SAID40X450S.
The direct replacement SAID40X450S shares the exact ISO 15552 interface, 450 mm stroke, and mounting options (Basic, FA, LB, TC), while upgrading to a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because the second rod occupies piston area on both faces, force is equal both ways, allowing the back rod to carry a sensor cam for -S magnet switches.

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).
Equal both-ways force and anti-rotation stability drive synchronized construction-machinery linkage components without deflection.
The back rod carries a sensor cam to confirm stroke position while moving parts between assembly stations on heavy-equipment production lines.
Drives two separate forming or pressing tools simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal push and pull force across the 450 mm stroke.
To replace the discontinued B04-SID40X450S, specify the SAID40X450S, which matches the 40 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 528/739/950 N equal-both-ways force. Size both directions by checking neighboring bores (32 mm or 50 mm) if your application requires a different equal force profile. A double-rod design is ideal when you need anti-rotation stability or must drive two tools simultaneously. Reuse existing ISO 15552 FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches (SAID uses current switches). At 450 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For load holding, note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cylinders drift without live air.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B04-SID40X450S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X450S. The B04- prefix simply marks it as construction-machinery dedicated; mechanically, it is identical to the base SID40X450S. The SAID replacement shares the exact ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and G1/4 port, but adds an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G1/4, the rod thread is M12x1.25, and adjustable air cushions are 27 mm at each end.
