This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI32X540, 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 SI32 Standard Air Cylinder SI32X540 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 540mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI32X540, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI32X540 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 540 mm stroke, delivering 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/8 port. The direct replacement is the SAI32X540, matching the exact bore, stroke, output force, port size, and mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a revised piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors.

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).
Pushes lightweight cartons off a main conveyor line using a 540 mm reach, relying on the 402 N push force to overcome friction without damaging packaging.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for incoming pallets on a roller track, decelerating loads smoothly using the adjustable 27 mm air cushions at both ends.
Ejects small molded components from a fixture, where the 32 mm bore provides adequate force and the long stroke clears the machine bed safely.
To replace the SI32X540, order the SAI32X540, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 32 mm bore, 540 mm stroke, G1/8 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot support CS1-B or DS1-B legacy sensors; choose an -S variant if position detection is required. For sizing alternatives, a 40 mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, while dropping to a smaller bore reduces capacity. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so for load holding consider an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. Finally, at 540 mm, the extended stroke necessitates external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI32X540 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI32X540. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 32 mm bore, 540 mm stroke, G1/8 port, and mounting interface, so it drops directly into existing fixtures.
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a G1/8 air port and provides 402 N push / 345 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, 724 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI32X540 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
