This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X350SH, 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 SI40X350SH is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X350SH, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X350SH is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 350mm stroke. Delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI40X350SH. This direct upgrade shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, force, port and accessories. The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The -H suffix denotes a Viton H seal, extending the operating temperature to 0-150 C.
The built-in magnet (-S) supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches, while the SAI replacement uses current AirTAC switches. The SAI family also introduces SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X350SH 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 SAI40X350SH 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).
Actuating diverter arms on hot material conveyor lines where the Viton H seal withstands 0-150 C ambient heat.
Moving components between stations over a 350mm reach, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending.
To replace the SI40X350SH, order the SAI40X350SH. Verify the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 350mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT), M12x1.25 rod thread and the magnet (-S). If you need higher force, the 50mm bore offers 982 N push at 0.5 MPa; if lower force is acceptable, the 32mm bore provides 402 N. For the 350mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. A plain cylinder does not hold load on air loss; the 27mm adjustable cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external rod lock, pilot check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X350SH is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X350SH. It shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 350mm stroke, output force, G1/4 port and mounting accessories, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SI40X350SH provides 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. Operating speed is 30-800 mm/s. It features a G1/4 port and a 27mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
