This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X200SH, 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 SI40X200SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X200SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X200SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 200mm stroke. It features a G1/4 air port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAI40X200SH, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force, and port for seamless fixture integration.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and extended life. This SI40X200SH variant includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches and a Viton H seal for 0-150 C high-temp environments.

The SAI40X200SH 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 40mm bore conveyors, providing 628 N push at 0.5 MPa to deflect parcels reliably without overwhelming the mechanism.
Secures aluminium workpieces in CNC machining fixtures, utilizing the 200mm stroke to accommodate varying material widths safely.
Moves components between drying ovens up to 150 C, relying on the Viton H seal and ISO 15552 profile barrel for thermal stability.
To replace the SI40X200SH, order the SAI40X200SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.). The S suffix confirms the magnet for current AirTAC switches, and H denotes the Viton high-temp seal. If you need more force, the neighbouring 50mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less is acceptable, the 32mm bore provides 402 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants for load holding. At 200mm stroke, rod bending is minimal, but ensure guide alignment to prevent side-load wear.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40X200SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X200SH. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40mm bore, 200mm stroke, 628 N force, G1/4 port, and mounting interface.
The 40mm bore features a G1/4 air port. Force output is 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 maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X200SH replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
