This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X440S, 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 SI40X440S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 440mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X440S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X440S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40mm bore and 440mm stroke. Delivering 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa via a G1/4 port, it is replaced by the SAI40X440S. This direct upgrade keeps the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke and output force.
The SAI features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped elements for low start-up pressure and long life. The SAI family also adds SAIL, SAIF and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. Your -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while SAI uses current AirTAC switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X440S 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 SAI40X440S 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).
Pushes completed parts out of machining fixtures, relying on adjustable end cushions to decelerate the rod smoothly over the long travel.
To replace the SI40X440S, order the SAI40X440S. It drops directly into existing fixtures via the ISO 15552 mounting interface, matching the 40mm bore, 440mm stroke, M12x1.25 rod thread and G1/4 port. If you need more force, the neighbouring 50mm bore yields 982N push at 0.5MPa; if less is acceptable, the 32mm bore provides 402N. Because the 440mm stroke is long, use an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates—so for load holding consider the SAIL or BSAI lock variants, or an external pilot check valve. Retain your -S magnet for position sensing.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X440S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X440S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40mm bore, 440mm stroke, output force and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder uses a G1/4 port and delivers 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 with a 27mm adjustable cushion.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X440S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
