This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40BX60S, 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 SI40BX60S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40BX60S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40BX60S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 60mm stroke. Featuring a SUS304 stainless piston rod, it delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40BX60S, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, port and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40BX60S 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 SAI40BX60S 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 mid-force clamping tasks where the SUS304 rod resists moisture, providing 628N push force at 0.5MPa for secure part holding.
The 60mm stroke offers rapid actuation for diverting small packages on a line, operating efficiently at 30-800mm/s.
To replace this SI40BX60S, order the SAI40BX60S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, keeping the 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 thread and SUS304 rod. If sizing alternatives, a 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while a 50mm bore yields 982N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss as the cushion only decelerates; for load holding use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Retain the -S magnet for current AirTAC switches.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40BX60S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40BX60S. It shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 60mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port and mounting accessories, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder has a G1/4 port. It generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40BX60S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
