This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X155S, 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 SI40X155S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 155mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X155S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X155S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore, 155mm stroke, and a G1/4 port. Delivering 628N push force at 0.5MPa, it is replaced by the direct replacement SAI40X155S, which shares the exact mounting interface, bore, and output force.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. The SI-S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family adds SAIL lock, SAIF valve, and BSAI clamp variants.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40X155S 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).
Secures mid-weight machined parts during milling or drilling, utilizing the 628N push force at 0.5MPa for rigid workholding.
Actuates sorting gates on packaging lines where a 155mm stroke pushes cartons smoothly onto adjacent lanes.
Functions as a pneumatic stop pin in low-profile conveyor endpoints, halting empty pallets safely before the packing station.
To replace this SI40X155S, order the SAI40X155S: confirm the ISO 15552 interface, 40mm bore, 155mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), and your mounting accessory. The -S magnet lets you use CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If you need more force, the 50mm bore offers 982N push at 0.5MPa; if less is acceptable, the 32mm bore gives 402N. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use a pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding. The 155mm stroke is under the 300mm side-load threshold, but always guide the rod to prevent bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40X155S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X155S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40mm bore, 155mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
At 0.5MPa it provides 628N push and 528N pull force. At 0.7MPa push is 879N, and at 0.9MPa it is 1130N. The theoretical max force is 128kgf at 1.0MPa. Operating speed ranges from 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X155S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
