This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X205S, 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 SI40X205S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 205mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X205S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X205S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 205 mm stroke, delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced it with the SAI40X205S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread, and ISO 15552 mounting interface.
The SAI upgrade features a new piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, and seal options include high-temp Viton H.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X205S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40X205S 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, using the 628 N push force to hold firmly against cutting vibration.
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, providing reliable 205 mm travel to redirect cartons at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Raises lightweight product stops or elevates ~32 kg loads vertically in distribution hubs when paired with proper guide rails.
To replace this SI40X205S, order the SAI40X205S keeping the same 40 mm bore, 205 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and -S magnet. Confirm your ISO 15552 mounting accessory (LB, FA, TC, etc.) and thread type (PT, G, NPT). For sizing both ways: a neighbouring 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore yields 982 N. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; the 27 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use the SAIL lock or BSAI clamp-lock variant, or an external pilot check valve. For this 205 mm stroke, ensure guide support to prevent rod bending and side loads.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X205S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the AirTAC SAI40X205S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 40 mm bore, 205 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting interface, so it fits existing fixtures perfectly.
The G1/4 port is fixed by the 40 mm bore. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa push is 879 N, at 0.9 MPa it is 1130 N, and the theoretical maximum is 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 SAI40X205S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
