This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X100SN, 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 SI40X100SN 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 SAI40X100SN, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X100SN is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. Delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI40X100SN. This direct upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, port and mounting accessories.
The SAI replacement features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI variants the SI lacked. The -SN config gives a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors and NBR seals (-20 to +70 C; Viton H raises this to 150 C).

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40X100SN 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).
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines where 628 N push at 0.5 MPa easily handles parcel redirection over a 100 mm travel.
Secures medium workpieces in machining fixtures, providing 528 N pull force and utilizing the adjustable 27 mm air cushions for smooth stops.
To replace the SI40X100SN, order the SAI40X100SN. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options) and your mounting accessory. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI uses current AirTAC sensors. If you need more force, the 50 mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is needed, the 32 mm bore provides 402 N. For load holding on air loss, note a plain cylinder drifts (cushions only decelerate). Use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant. Rod material options include carbon steel, SUS420J2 (A) or SUS304 (B).
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X100SN is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X100SN. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 628 N force, G1/4 port and mounting interface, so it fits existing fixtures directly.
The 40 mm bore features a G1/4 air port and a 16 mm rod. It delivers 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, and a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X100SN replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
