This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X80, 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 SI40X80 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X80, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X80 is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with an 80 mm stroke and 40 mm bore. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa through a G1/4 port. AirTAC replaced this legacy unit with the SAI40X80, a direct upgrade retaining the exact interface, bore, stroke, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a refined piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and extended life. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CS1-B or DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X80 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 SAI40X80 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).
Secures medium-duty workpieces on machining fixtures, utilizing the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa for stable holding during milling or drilling operations.
Actuates sorting arms on packaging lines, where the 80 mm stroke provides rapid and precise redirection of goods between adjacent belts.
Functions as a pneumatic stop gate in material handling conveyors, arresting pallets reliably using the 528 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
To replace the SI40X80, order the SAI40X80. Verify your ISO 15552 mounting fixture, 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, and G1/4 port (PT, G, or NPT thread). This SKU has no magnet and cannot support position sensing; if you need switches, select an SAI40X80S and use current AirTAC sensors. For higher force, the adjacent 50 mm bore yields 982 N push at 0.5 MPa. Remember, a standard cylinder drifts on air loss; the cushion only decelerates. For load holding, use an external pilot check valve or explore the SAIL or BSAI lock variants.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the AirTAC SI40X80 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X80. It shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, output force, and G1/4 port, fitting existing fixtures perfectly.
The SI40X80 features a G1/4 air port and an M12x1.25 rod thread. It generates 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 maximum of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X80 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
