This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAI40X870S, 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 SI40X870S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 870mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAI40X870S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SI40X870S is a discontinued double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder with a 40 mm bore and 870 mm stroke. It delivers 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa via a G1/4 port. The direct replacement is the SAI40X870S, matching the interface, force, and mounting.
The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure. The SAI family adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI lacked. This -S SKU uses CS1-B/DS1-B sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAI40X870S 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 SAI40X870S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×870 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
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 a 870 mm conveyor lane using the 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Feeds aluminium stock through a die over the 870 mm travel with external guides.
To replace the SI40X870S, order the SAI40X870S. Confirm the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 870 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and your mounting accessory. If downsizing, a 32 mm bore yields 402 N; if upsizing, a 50 mm bore yields 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Because stroke is 870 mm, use an external guide to prevent rod bending. The cushion only decelerates; for load holding on air loss, use a pilot check valve or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SI40X870S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAI40X870S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 870 mm stroke, and G1/4 port.
It has 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 theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the SAI40X870S replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
