About the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX105
The AirTAC SAID160X105 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160 mm bore and 105 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both end covers, the effective annulus area is identical on extend and retract. This yields exactly 9425 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, ensuring perfectly symmetric motion and speed. A single piston carries the load out of both ends, allowing you to mount a primary workpiece on one side and a cam, guide, or position flag on the rear rod.
This model uses a PT G3/4 port and a 40 mm SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for excellent corrosion resistance. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor switch grooves on both sides for flexible mounting. Note that the rear rod protrudes from the back cover, so you must account for this extra clearance when designing your machine envelope. The adjustable air cushions at both ends provide 50 mm of cushioning to decelerate heavy loads smoothly.

Where the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX105 Is Used
Anti-Rotation Slides
The through-rod design prevents the piston from twisting under heavy offset loads, providing rigid linear guidance for high-precision machining fixtures.
Symmetric-Force Transfer
Delivering 9425 N of force equally on extend and retract, this cylinder is ideal for shuttle mechanisms that must push and pull identical masses at constant speeds.
Twin-Station Actuation
Mount a primary tool on the front rod end and a secondary mechanism or position flag on the rear rod end to drive two synchronized operations from one cylinder.
Is the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX105 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when an application demands high bidirectional force, as it provides 9425 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N both ways, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore offers 15079 N. The twin-rod design is selected over a single-rod SAI when the mechanism requires dual-side guidance, anti-rotation stability, or rear-rod sensing. Mounting options include the reduced SAID set of Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2, omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR variants used on single-rod cylinders.
For any stroke of 300 mm or more, the unsupported rod length increases side-load stress on the rod bearing, requiring an external guide to prevent bending. This 105 mm stroke avoids that issue. Remember that a plain SAID does not hold its position when air is lost; if your application needs fail-safe load holding, consider the BSAID clamp-lock variant or an external pilot-operated check valve. This cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552, serving as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders.

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 SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX105 FAQ
The SAID160X105 provides equal force in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both sides of the piston. It generates 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and 16964 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, the SAID160X105 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 and accepts standard profile cylinder mounts. However, the SAID series uses a reduced mounting set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. It omits the FB, CA, CB, and CR variants found on single-rod SAI cylinders.
