This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X100SH, 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 SI40X100SH 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 SAI40X100SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X100SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 100mm stroke, delivering 628N push force at 0.5MPa through a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40X100SH, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, port and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. This SI40X100SH variant includes a high-temp Viton H seal (0-150C) and a magnetic piston for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X100SH carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40X100SH 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).
Uses the Viton H high-temperature seal to push parts out of 150C molding environments without degrading.
Provides 628N push at 0.5MPa to reliably deflect medium-weight packages on ISO 15552 mounting fixtures.
To replace the SI40X100SH, order the SAI40X100SH, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, G1/4 port, Viton H seal and magnet for current AirTAC switches. If you need more force, the 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa; if less is needed, the 32mm bore gives 402N. Because this is a plain cylinder, it will not hold a load without live air—the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants. The SAI family also adds the SAIF self-valve option.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X100SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X100SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, 628N force, G1/4 port and mounting accessories.
The 40mm bore has a G1/4 air port and M12x1.25 rod thread. It generates 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X100SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
