This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X745S, 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 SI40X745S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 745mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X745S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X745S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 40mm bore, 745mm stroke, G1/4 port, and 628N push force at 0.5MPa. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI40X745S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact mounting interface, output, and dimensions.
The SAI replacement introduces an upgraded piston seal using two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. It also adds SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. The original -S magnet supports CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X745S 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 SAI40X745S 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 packages across transfer lines with its 745mm reach, requiring external guides to prevent rod bending during lateral extension.
Shifts tooling carriages between stations, relying on the built-in magnet for end-of-stroke confirmation with CS1-B switches.
To replace the SI40X745S, order the SAI40X745S, confirming the ISO 15552 interface, 40mm bore, 745mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread options), and mounting accessory. Because the 745mm stroke is long, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage. If sizing alternatives, the neighbouring 32mm bore yields 402N push at 0.5MPa, while the 50mm bore yields 982N. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; for load holding, specify the SAIL lock variant, BSAI clamp-lock, or an external pilot check valve.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X745S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X745S. It is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, matching the 40mm bore, 745mm stroke, G1/4 port, and mounting fixtures.
The 40mm bore features a G1/4 port. It delivers 628N push and 528N pull at 0.5MPa, 879N push at 0.7MPa, 1130N push at 0.9MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 128kgf at 1.0MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X745S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
