This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40AX195S, 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 SI40 Standard Cylinder SI40AX195S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 195mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40AX195S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40AX195S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 195mm stroke. Featuring a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and a G1/4 port, it delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this EOL unit with the SAI40AX195S, a direct replacement sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI upgrade features an advanced piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. For applications needing load holding on air loss, the SAI family introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. The built-in magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B 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).
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, utilizing the 195mm stroke and 32 kg vertical lift capacity to redirect cartons reliably.
Secures moisture-exposed workpieces in machining fixtures, leveraging the SUS420J2 rod for corrosion resistance and 528 N pull force.
Controls pallet flow on roller conveyors by raising and lowering stop blades, safely handling loads within the 377 N working limit.
To replace the discontinued SI40AX195S, order the SAI40AX195S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 40mm bore, 195mm stroke, G1/4 port, and the -A SUS420J2 stainless rod option. Because the -S magnet is present, specify current AirTAC switches to replace the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. When sizing, a 50mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 32mm bore provides 402 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For secure load holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40AX195S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI40AX195S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 195mm stroke, G1/4 port, and force ratings, fitting existing fixtures perfectly while adding an upgraded piston seal.
This double-acting cylinder provides 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, features a G1/4 port, and includes a 27 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
