About the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX160
The AirTAC SAID100X160 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 160 mm stroke. Because the twin rods occupy both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal extend and retract force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa. It serves as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.
This variant uses a SUS304 stainless steel rod for superior corrosion resistance. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides for CMSE reed or DMSE electronic switches. A rod exits both end covers, allowing you to mount a primary workpiece on one end and a cam or position flag on the opposite end for dual-side guidance.

Where the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX160 Is Used
Symmetric Force Transfer
Drives a push-pull mechanism requiring identical 3681 N force in both directions, ensuring perfectly balanced motion without differential pressure tuning.
Dual-Station Actuation
Mounts a workpiece on the front rod end and a secondary cam on the rear rod, simultaneously operating two separate stations with one cylinder.
Anti-Rotation Slides
Leverages the twin-rod geometry to prevent mechanical rotation during heavy vertical lifting, keeping the guided load perfectly stable.
Is the Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX160 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need symmetric force and speed both ways, stepping up from a 63 mm bore that provides 1402 N at 0.5 MPa. The double-rod design is preferred over a single-rod SAI when an application requires anti-rotation stability or rear-rod sensing. The PT tapered port threads match the G1/2 port size for this bore.
Note that a plain SAID does not hold its position when air is lost; the piston drifts if the valve is centered. For load-holding without live pressure, consider a SAIL lock, BSAID clamp-lock, or an external rod lock. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAID100 Double Rod Cylinder SAID100BX160 FAQ
The SAID100X160 delivers equal force in both extend and retract directions due to its double-rod design. It provides 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552. It functions as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 profile-type double-rod cylinders, using the standard mounting interface.
