This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40AX225S, 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 SI40AX225S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40AX225S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40AX225S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore, 225mm stroke, and an SUS420J2 stainless steel rod. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX225S, which shares identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, stroke, and output force.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This -S model includes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40AX225S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40AX225S 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).
Ideal for securing machined components on automated lines where the SUS420J2 rod resists moisture and coolant splash.
Provides reliable 225mm stroke actuation to push cartons off a main belt, utilizing the 628N force at 0.5MPa.
To replace the SI40AX225S, order the SAI40AX225S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 225mm stroke, the G1/4 port, and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. The -A rod is SUS420J2 stainless steel; if corrosion resistance is not needed, the default carbon steel rod works. At 0.5MPa it pushes 628N; dropping to a 32mm bore yields 402N, while a 50mm bore gives 982N. Because the 225mm stroke exceeds 300mm, ensure guide rails prevent rod bending. For load holding on air loss, select the SAIL or BSAI lock variant, as standard cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40AX225S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX225S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, maintaining the same 40mm bore, 225mm stroke, 628N force, and G1/4 port.
The G1/4 port bore delivers a push of 628N and pull of 528N at 0.5MPa, 879N at 0.7MPa, 1130N at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40AX225S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
