This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X770S, 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 SI40X770S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 770mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X770S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X770S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 770 mm stroke, delivering 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa via its G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI40X770S, a direct upgrade retaining the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force, and port size.
The SAI successor features an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors, while the SAI family introduces SAIL, SAIF, and BSAI lock and valve variants the original SI line lacked.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X770S 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 SAI40X770S 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).
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, utilizing the 628 N push force to redirect totes at 30-800 mm/s operating speeds.
Transfers products between conveyor zones across a 770 mm gap, requiring external guide rods to prevent piston bending.
To replace the SI40X770S, order the SAI40X770S and confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 770 mm stroke, G1/4 port (PT/G/NPT thread), and mounting accessory. Retain the -S magnet for current AirTAC switch compatibility. Sizing both ways: a 32 mm bore yields 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm bore yields 982 N. Note that a 770 mm stroke demands external guide support to prevent rod bending and excessive side loads. For load holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the cushion only decelerates.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X770S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X770S. It shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 770 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
This double-acting cylinder features a 16 mm rod, M12x1.25 thread, 27 mm cushions, and 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 maximum theoretical force of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X770S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
