The AirTAC Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX155 is a genuine double-acting ISO 15552 profile-barrel air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 155mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its standardized mounting interface makes it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 cylinders in automation lines.
The AirTAC SAID160X155 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160 mm bore and 155 mm stroke. Because the piston rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on both sides, yielding an equal extend and retract force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for mechanisms demanding consistent power and velocity in both directions of travel.
This specific unit is configured with a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and PT tapered port threads. The rear rod protrusion allows engineers to mount a cam, position flag, or secondary mechanism on the opposite side, providing dual-side guidance and superior anti-rotation control compared to single-rod alternatives.

Related SAI-family variants: SAID (double rod), SAIJ (adjustable stroke), SAIL (with lock), SAIF (with valve), BSAI (enclasp / clamp-lock), and SAI-S with built-in magnet. Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B); seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
The twin-rod design prevents piston rotation, making it perfect for precision lifting slides where load leveling and strict guidance are critical.
Provides identical 9425 N force and speed in both directions, ensuring balanced and stable actuation for heavy symmetric transfer mechanisms.
Mount a workpiece on the front rod and a secondary cam or sensor flag on the rear rod to drive or monitor two separate stations simultaneously.
Selecting this 160 mm bore is appropriate when applications require substantial symmetric thrust (9425 N at 0.5 MPa) that a smaller 125 mm bore (5734 N) cannot provide. The double-rod architecture is chosen over a single-rod SAI when the load must be guided against rotation or when a rear-mounted position flag is needed for external sensing. Since this is a plain double-rod cylinder, it does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; for dead-load holding, consider an AirTAC SAIL or BSAID variant. Ensure you specify the PT port thread, SUS420J2 rod material, and appropriate mounting accessory (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2) for your ISO 15552 drop-in replacement.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is the same on both sides. It provides an equal extend and retract force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa.
Yes, the SAID160X155 is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 standards. It can serve as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod profile cylinders, utilizing the same mounting interface.
