This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X1220STC, 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 SI40 Standard Cylinder SI40X1220STC is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 1220mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X1220STC, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X1220STC is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore, a 1220mm stroke, and a TC trunnion mount. Generating 628N push force at 0.5MPa, it utilized a G1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread. Because the 1220mm length exceeds the 1200mm standard maximum for this bore, it is a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The direct replacement is the SAI40X1220STC, which matches the original ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size exactly.
The SAI upgrade introduces an advanced piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements, ensuring long life and low start-up pressure. The SAI family also adds variants the SI lacked, such as the SAIL air-released lock, SAIF built-in valve, and BSAI clamp-lock. This magnet-ready unit (-S) accepts legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

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).
Pushes products between conveyor lanes over a 1220mm distance using the 628N push force, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending on the extended stroke.
To replace the discontinued SI40X1220STC, order the SAI40X1220STC. Verify the ISO 15552 TC trunnion mounting interface, the G1/4 port, the 1220mm stroke, and the -S magnet option. Because 1220mm exceeds the 1200mm standard maximum, expect a made-to-order lead time. When sizing, a 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa if more force is needed, while a 32mm bore provides 402N for lighter loads. For this 1220mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For load holding, use an external rod lock, a pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X1220STC is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X1220STC. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 40mm bore, 1220mm stroke, TC mount, G1/4 port, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/4 port and provides 628N push / 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The 1220mm stroke is non-standard and requires external guides to manage side loads.
