This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40AX75S, 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 SI40AX75S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40AX75S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40AX75S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 75mm stroke. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX75S, which shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, M12x1.25 rod thread, and force ratings. This SUS420J2 stainless rod variant (-A) includes a piston magnet (-S) for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, consider the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variants the SI line lacked.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40AX75S 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 repetitive part clamping in machining cells where the SUS420J2 stainless piston rod resists coolant corrosion and the 628N force secures components firmly.
Provides reliable 75mm stroke actuation for diverting small to medium packages on packaging lines, operating efficiently at speeds between 30-800 mm/s.
To replace the SI40AX75S, order the SAI40AX75S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches. The -A rod specifies SUS420J2 stainless steel over the default carbon steel. When sizing both ways, a 32mm bore neighbor offers less force, while a 50mm bore provides 982N push at 0.5MPa. Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it cannot hold a load without live air; the cushion only decelerates. For static holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL air-released lock, SAIF built-in 4M valve, or BSAI clamp-lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40AX75S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40AX75S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40mm bore, 75mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface, but features an upgraded two Y-shaped one-way piston seal.
The 40mm bore features a G1/4 air port and a 16mm rod. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40AX75S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
