The AirTAC Airtac JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID32X160 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Delivering 345 N of equal force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-rod actuator uses a G1/8 port and a 160 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both covers, the effective pressure area remains identical on the extend and retract strokes, ensuring perfectly symmetric thrust. This design yields a safe working load of about 207 N, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 18 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to JIS standards with an extruded hard-anodized aluminum profile barrel, the unit is noticeably shorter and more compact than a same-bore ISO 15552 cylinder. The twin rods resist torsional twist for non-rotating guidance, while adjustable 20 mm air cushions at each end decelerate the load smoothly. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE position sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Drives two small machining heads simultaneously from one piston, using the symmetric thrust to raise and lower a 15 kg fixture block with zero rotational drift.
Pushes lightweight cardboard cartons across a belt using the front rod while the rear rod actuates a diverter cam, keeping the motion perfectly synchronized.
Actuates opposing gripper jaws through a mechanical linkage, relying on the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent clamping pressure.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, its 345 N equal-both-ways thrust sits at the low edge of the JSID range; stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 528 N for heavier tooling. A double-rod configuration is the right call when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, twin tooling operation on one piston, a symmetric load path, or a sensor cam out the back end. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because this 160 mm stroke exceeds the 300 mm threshold, always use an external guide rail to absorb lateral loads and prevent binding. Remember that this non-S model cannot support magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It generates 345 N at 0.5 MPa and 483 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 70 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and it uses a G1/8 air port.
No, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. You need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a vertical load. Additionally, this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot take CMSE or DMSE sensors unless you specify the -S variant.
