This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID40X350S, 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 SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID40X350S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID40X350S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC SID40X350S is a discontinued double-acting double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. It features a 40 mm bore, G1/4 air port, M12x1.25 rod thread, 27 mm adjustable cushions, and a built-in -S piston magnet for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. The direct replacement is the SAID40X350S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and port.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life, alongside SAIL and BSAI lock variants absent in the SI line. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for held loads.

The SAID40X350S 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).
Uses both extending rods to push and pull separate tooling simultaneously, ensuring equal 528 N force in both directions for balanced machining operations.
The twin-rod geometry prevents mechanical twist during horizontal transfer, maintaining strict alignment without needing external linear bearings.
Mounts a sensor cam on the rear rod while the front rod performs work, allowing position confirmation via the -S magnet without cluttering the primary motion axis.
To replace the discontinued SID40X350S, drop in the SAID40X350S directly—it matches the 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions (Basic, FA, LB, TC) without bracket changes. Because force is equal both ways (528 N @0.5 MPa), size both directions identically; if you need less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (345 N), or step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N) for more power. Choose a double-rod cylinder when you need anti-rotation stability, a back rod to carry a sensor cam, or to drive two tools simultaneously. The -S suffix confirms the piston magnet is present for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 350 mm stroke, factor in side-load and rod-bending risks by using external guides to support the load.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the SID40X350S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID40X350S, which shares the identical ISO 15552 mounting interface, 40 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, G1/4 port, and equal-both-ways force. The SAI upgrade adds a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for longer life.
The double-rod design makes push and pull force equal both ways: 528 N @0.5 MPa, 739 N @0.7 MPa, and 950 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 40 mm, the air port is G1/4, the rod thread is M12x1.25, and it has 27 mm adjustable cushions at each end. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.
