This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X206, 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 SI40X206 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 206mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X206, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X206 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 206mm stroke. It delivers 628N push force at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40X206, matching the interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade features two Y-shaped one-way piston seals for low start-up pressure and long life. This no-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor. For high heat, Viton H seals raise the limit to 150C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X206 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 SAI40X206 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 with 628N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Actuates routing gates on 40mm bore assembly lines, cycling safely at 30-800 mm/s.
Raises compact tote boxes, handling a safe vertical lift load of about 32 kg.
To replace the SI40X206, order the SAI40X206 direct: verify the ISO 15552 mounting, G1/4 port, M12x1.25 rod thread and 206mm stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If sizing up or down, adjacent bores are 32mm (402N) and 50mm (982N) at 0.5MPa. For 206mm strokes, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod bending. The air cushion only decelerates; it does not hold load. For drop prevention on air loss, use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X206 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X206. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, retaining the same 40mm bore, 206mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port and mounting fixtures.
The G1/4 port feeds a 16mm rod. Force ratings are: 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5 MPa; 879N push at 0.7 MPa; 1130N push at 0.9 MPa; with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X206 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
