This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40BX275, 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 SI40BX275 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 275mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40BX275, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40BX275 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore, 275mm stroke, and SUS304 stainless steel rod. Delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI40BX275. This direct successor shares identical ISO 15552 mounting dimensions, bore, stroke, output force, and port size, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade features a modernized piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Because this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), it cannot accept a CS1-B or DS1-B sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40BX275 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 SAI40BX275 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 equipment requiring corrosion resistance, utilizing the SUS304 rod to push 628 N loads reliably.
Handles 275mm travel to divert products on a line, benefiting from the 30-800 mm/s speed range and adjustable cushions.
To replace the SI40BX275, order the SAI40BX275. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 275mm stroke, G1/4 port, and SUS304 rod material. Since this SKU has no magnet, it cannot support position sensing; add the -S suffix if switches are needed. For load holding, note that a standard cylinder drifts without live air—the cushion only decelerates. Use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for secure holds. At 275mm stroke, guide side-loads to prevent rod bending. If downsizing, a 32mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa; if upsizing, a 50mm bore provides 982 N.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40BX275 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40BX275. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 275mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/4 air port and delivers 628 N push / 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879 N push at 0.7 MPa, 1130 N push at 0.9 MPa, and a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40BX275 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
