About the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX30S
The AirTAC SAID160X30-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and a 30mm stroke. Because the twin rods occupy both sides of the piston, the annulus area is identical in extend and retract, yielding an equal 9425 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. The extruded aluminum barrel includes sensor grooves on both sides to accommodate the integrated magnet for position feedback.
This specific configuration uses a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod (material code A) for superior corrosion resistance and pairs with PT tapered port threads. The rear rod extension is fully exposed, allowing engineers to mount a secondary cam, position flag, or second mechanism while keeping the primary load guided against rotation.

Where the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX30S Is Used
Anti-Rotation Slides
The twin rods prevent piston rotation during heavy transfer operations, ensuring precise linear movement for large machining fixtures.
Symmetric Force Transfer
Delivers an equal 9425 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, ideal for pressing or clamping components identically from both directions.
Through-Rod Sensing
The protruding rear rod provides a mounting point for a DMSE electronic sensor flag, tracking stroke completion without interfering with the primary work area.
Is the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX30S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160mm bore when an application requires heavy symmetric force transfer that smaller bores cannot provide, stepping up from the 125mm class which yields 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. The double-rod design is selected over a single-rod SAI when precise anti-rotation guidance or dual-side actuation is required. The -S magnet works seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE electronic solid-state switches.
As a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it is dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders. Specify the 160mm bore, 30mm stroke, PT port thread, and the appropriate mounting accessory from the SAID set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2). Note that this plain double-rod cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; use a BSAID clamp-lock or external pilot-operated check valve for load-holding duties.

- ✓ 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 SAID160AX30S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the effective piston area is the same on both sides. It delivers an equal 9425 N of force in both extend and retract directions at 0.5 MPa, and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa.
Yes, it is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It shares the exact mounting interface and footprint of other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders, allowing for a drop-in replacement, though it uses a reduced mounting accessory set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2).
