This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40AX350, 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 SI40AX350 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40AX350, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40AX350 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 350 mm stroke. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX350, matching the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, force, and porting. The SAI upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors (legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches require the magnet option). The -A rod code specifies a SUS420J2 stainless piston rod for corrosion resistance over the standard carbon steel. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL lock variant.

The SAI40AX350 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).
Drives sorting pop-up arms on packaging lines, utilizing the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa to redirect cartons reliably at conveyor transfers.
Secures mild steel workpieces in CNC machining fixtures, where the SUS420J2 stainless rod provides necessary corrosion resistance against cutting fluids.
To replace the SI40AX350, order the SAI40AX350. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixture (LB, FA, TC, etc.), the 350 mm stroke, and the G1/4 port. This unit has no -S magnet, so it cannot support sensing; if you need switches, select an SAI40X350S and use current AirTAC sensors. The -A code indicates a SUS420J2 stainless rod; confirm if your environment still requires this or if the default rod suffices. At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm bore yields 628 N push and 528 N pull; if you need less force, step down to a 32 mm bore (402 N push), or step up to 50 mm (982 N push) for more thrust. For load holding on air loss, specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve, or choose the SAIL air-released lock variant. Because the 350 mm stroke is long, prevent rod bending by ensuring external guidance and minimizing side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40AX350 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX350. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface. The SAI simply upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a G1/4 air port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. The thrust output is 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. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
