This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X323S, 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 SI40X323S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 323mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X323S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X323S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore, 323mm stroke, and a G1/4 port. Generating 628N push force at 0.5MPa, it is directly replaced by the SAI40X323S. This direct upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and output force, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SAI upgrade introduces a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The -S suffix indicates a piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B legacy sensors, while the SAI family expands options with SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI variants.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The SAI40X323S 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).
Drives diverter arms on sorting lines, utilizing the 323mm stroke to push cartons between adjacent belt lanes smoothly.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for pallets at wrapping stations, providing reliable resistance with 628N of push force at 0.5MPa.
Ejects machined parts from a fixture, where the 40mm bore provides sufficient thrust without damaging the product surface.
To replace the SI40X323S, order the SAI40X323S, confirming the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 323mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your specific mounting accessory. The -S magnet is required for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. If sizing up, the 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa; if sizing down, the 32mm bore provides 402N. Because this is a 323mm stroke, prevent rod bending by using external guides to manage side loads. A plain cylinder will not hold a load without air; the cushion only decelerates. For secure holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X323S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X323S. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 323mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting directly into your existing fixtures.
This double-acting cylinder features a G1/4 port and generates 628N push / 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical max of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It operates at 30-800mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X323S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
