This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40AX650S, 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 SI40 Standard Cylinder SI40AX650S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 650mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40AX650S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40AX650S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 650mm stroke. Delivering 628N push force at 0.5MPa, it features a SUS420J2 stainless rod, G1/4 port, and a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. AirTAC replaced this with the SAI40AX650S.
The SAI40AX650S is a direct replacement retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M12x1.25 thread, and 128kgf max force. It upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure.

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 packages across transfer lines with a 650mm reach, utilizing the 628N force at 0.5MPa while requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
Ejects parts in humid washdown environments using the SUS420J2 stainless piston rod, relying on the 30-800mm/s speed range for rapid cycling.
To replace the SI40AX650S, order the SAI40AX650S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 650mm stroke, G1/4 port, and -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. The -A code specifies a SUS420J2 stainless rod; if corrosion is not a concern, the default carbon steel rod works. At 0.5MPa it pushes 628N; sizing up to a 50mm bore yields 982N. Because the 650mm stroke risks rod bending under side loads, use external guides to prevent premature seal wear. The cushion only decelerates the load; for holding position on air loss, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40AX650S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX650S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 650mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 128kgf max force, but features an upgraded two Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
The G1/4 port bore delivers a push force of 628N and a pull force of 528N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa it pushes 879N, and 1130N at 0.9MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa, operating at 30-800mm/s.
