About the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX220
The AirTAC SAID160X220 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty symmetric actuation. Because a rod exits both ends, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding an equal 9425N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This specific configuration features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod and PT tapered port threads.
Utilizing an extruded aluminum barrel with sensor grooves on both sides, the unit supports dual-side guidance. The rear rod extension is ideal for mounting a secondary cam, position flag, or driving a second mechanism. Adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke limits, while the twin rods provide superior anti-rotation resistance.

Where the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX220 Is Used
Symmetric Force Transfer
Drives heavy workpiece shuttles requiring identical 9425N push and pull forces, ensuring consistent acceleration and deceleration without pressure spikes.
Anti-Rotation Slides
Lifts and positions heavy industrial platens where the twin 40mm rods prevent torsional deflection better than a single-rod actuator.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a primary clamp on the front rod while the rear rod simultaneously triggers a mechanical valve or limit flag on a secondary station.
Is the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX220 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160mm bore when an application requires matched push and pull forces that a single-rod SAI cannot provide. If you need less force, the 100mm bore offers 3681N both ways at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is unnecessary if 9425N suffices. The double-rod design is chosen specifically for anti-rotation stability or when a rear rod is needed for external limit flags.
For drop-in compatibility, ensure your mounting matches the ISO 15552 interface using accessories from the SAID set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 (FB, CA, CB, and CR are omitted). Note that a plain SAID does not hold position when air is lost; use a BSAID clamp-lock or external pilot-operated check valve for load holding. At a 220mm stroke, the extended double rod demands rear clearance, and the heavy 40mm rod should be externally guided to prevent bearing bending.

- ✓ 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 SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX220 FAQ
Because the double-rod design subtracts the rod area on both sides, it provides equal force in both directions: 9425N at 0.5 MPa, 13194N at 0.7 MPa, and 16964N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 mounting dimensions. You can use it as a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod profile cylinders, utilizing the Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 mounts.
