This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X108S, 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 SI40X108S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 108mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X108S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X108S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 108mm stroke. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40X108S, matching the interface, force, and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade features 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. Your -S suffix means a magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X108S 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 SAI40X108S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×108 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -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).
Provides 628N of push force at 0.5MPa for securing mid-weight workpieces during machining operations.
Drives 108mm stroke diverting arms to route lightweight cartons between conveyor belts at high speed.
Operates access gates or material stops in storage zones, benefiting from the compact 40mm profile barrel.
To replace the SI40X108S, order the SAI40X108S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 108mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and mounting accessory. The -S magnet fits legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches. Sizing both ways: a 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, and 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. Because stroke is over 300mm, mind side-load and rod-bending forces, using a guide to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X108S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X108S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, keeping the same 40mm bore, 108mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
The G1/4 port feeds a 16mm rod. Force output is 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X108S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
