This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40BX65, 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 SI40BX65 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 65mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40BX65, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40BX65 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 65mm stroke. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI40BX65, a direct upgrade sharing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, and port size.
The SAI40BX65 features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This specific SKU uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod (-B) for corrosion resistance but lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept a CS1-B or DS1-B sensor.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40BX65 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 SAI40BX65 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 machinery where the SUS304 rod resists washdown corrosion while providing 628N of clamping thrust.
To replace the discontinued SI40BX65, order the SAI40BX65. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, the 65mm stroke, the G1/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing; if you need switches, select an SAI40X65S and use current AirTAC sensors. If you need to size up or down, neighbouring bores are 32mm and 50mm, offering 402N and 982N push force at 0.5MPa respectively. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load without live air; for load holding on air loss, consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40BX65 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40BX65. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 65mm stroke, 628N force, and G1/4 port, fitting directly into existing fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/4 air port and a 16mm piston rod. The force output is 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 SAI40BX65 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
