This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40BX100S, 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 SI40BX100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40BX100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40BX100S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, and SUS304 stainless steel piston rod. Generating 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it is replaced by the SAI40BX100S. This direct successor matches the bore, stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface for existing fixtures.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40BX100S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40BX100S 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 packaging and washdown environments where the SUS304 rod resists corrosion while providing 628 N of clamping force.
Provides reliable 100mm stroke movement for routing packages on conveyor lines, operating efficiently at 30-800 mm/s.
To replace the SI40BX100S, order the SAI40BX100S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 100mm stroke, the G1/4 port, and your mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The -B code specifies the SUS304 stainless rod for corrosion resistance, and the -S magnet enables CS1-B/DS1-B position sensing. Sizing both ways: this 40mm bore yields 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas a 32mm bore offers 402 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant to hold loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40BX100S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40BX100S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port.
It features a G1/4 air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Force 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, with a theoretical maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40BX100S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
