This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X215S, 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 SI40X215S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 215mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X215S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X215S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 215 mm stroke. It delivers 628 N push and 528 N pull at 0.5 MPa, using a G1/4 port and M12x1.25 rod thread. The direct replacement is the SAI40X215S, matching the interface, force, and mounting exactly.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life. For applications needing load holding on air loss, the SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X215S 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 SAI40X215S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×215 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 CNC milling, utilizing the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa for rigid holding.
Actuates sorting gates on packaging lines, where the 215 mm stroke provides sufficient travel to redirect boxes.
To replace the SI40X215S, order the SAI40X215S keeping the same ISO 15552 mounting, 40 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and magnet. The SAI uses current AirTAC switches for the -S magnet, replacing legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. For sizing, a 32 mm bore offers 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore provides 982 N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant for load holding. At 215 mm stroke, guide side-loads to prevent rod bending.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X215S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X215S, which shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port, and accessories.
It has a G1/4 port. Force ratings are 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 max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X215S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
