The AirTAC Airtac JSID Double Rod Cylinder JSID63X160S 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 thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore double-rod actuator uses a single internal piston with a rod exiting each cover. The symmetrical layout creates an identical effective area on both faces, so push and pull forces remain perfectly matched. It offers a safe working load of about 841 N, which translates to lifting roughly 71 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to JIS standards with an extruded hard-anodized aluminum profile barrel, the unit is physically shorter and more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. Air connects via a G3/8 port, and the S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches that mount directly into the side grooves. Adjustable 29 mm air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke end, though an external rod lock is required if you need to hold a load during air loss.

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

Drives two synchronized gripping jaws from opposite rod ends to shuttle parts between machining centers without rotation.
Balances vertical lifting platforms by pushing and pulling with equal 1402 N force, preventing uneven wear on linear guides.
Uses the rear rod extension to trigger a mechanical flag while the front rod pushes defective items off the belt.
Sizing this 63 mm bore actuator against its neighbors shows a clear step in power: a 50 mm bore yields 825 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, while an 80 mm bore jumps to 2268 N. The 63 mm hits a balanced 1402 N, making it ideal when a 50 mm is underpowered but an 80 mm is physically too large. Choose a double-rod configuration when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, needs to drive twin tooling from opposite ends, or requires a symmetric load path to prevent sagging. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2. The S suffix ensures you have position sensing capability. For this 160 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but any application exceeding 300 mm stroke should use an external guide to protect the piston seals.
Quick checklist
Because the rod passes through both covers, force is equal in both directions: 1402 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is G3/8, the rod is 20 mm, and it has M18x1.5 rod threads.
The S indicates a built-in piston magnet for fitting CMSE or DMSE reed or electronic switches into the barrel grooves. The cylinder cannot hold a load on its own if air pressure drops; the 29 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
