The AirTAC Airtac JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID63X160 is a genuine double acting, double rod JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 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 1402 N of equal force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore double-rod actuator uses a G3/8 port to balance pressure perfectly. Its twin-rod architecture creates a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, making it ideal for non-rotating guidance and driving twin tooling simultaneously from a single piston.
Built to JIS standards with an extruded hard-anodized aluminum profile barrel, the body is noticeably shorter and more compact than a same-bore ISO 15552 cylinder. It yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N, which translates to lifting about 71 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

JSI-family variants: JSI (double acting), JSID (double rod), JSIJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / TCM1 / TCM2. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Drives two synchronized tooling heads from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly balanced vertical lifting without torsional deflection.
Powers a dual-sided transfer mechanism where the rear rod pushes a return cam while the front rod carries the main payload.
Uses the inherent torsional resistance of the dual-rod design to actuate a heavy sorting flap without needing external linear guides.
Sizing this actuator requires checking both neighbors: stepping down to the 50 mm bore drops the equal-both-ways force to 825 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 80 mm bore raises it to 2268 N. Choose the double-rod format when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, a symmetric load path, or back-end sensor cam tracking. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because the 160 mm stroke is well under the 1500 mm standard limit, standard side-load guidance rules apply, but always support the rod end on strokes of 300 mm or longer. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; the adjustable 29 mm cushions only decelerate near the end caps, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a load vertically.
Quick checklist
Because the rod exits both ends, the push and pull forces are equal: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 63 mm bore, a 20 mm rod, a G3/8 port, adjustable 29 mm cushions, and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and therefore cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches. You must select the -S variant of this model to enable magnetic position sensing.
