About the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX40S
The AirTAC SAID160X40-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for symmetric actuation. Because a rod exits both end covers, the annulus area is identical on extend and retract, yielding a balanced 9425 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This through-rod geometry allows mounting a primary workpiece on one end and a secondary guide, cam, or position flag on the opposite end.
Equipped with a -S magnet, this variant integrates seamlessly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors housed in the dual-side extruded barrel grooves. The piston rod is constructed from SUS420J2 stainless steel (option A) for superior corrosion resistance, and fluid connections utilize PT tapered port threads.

Where the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX40S Is Used
Anti-Rotation Slides
Leverages the twin-rod design to guide heavy loads over the 40 mm stroke, preventing piston rotation without external guide rails.
Symmetric-Force Transfer
Ideal for mechanisms requiring identical push and pull dynamics, utilizing the equal 9425 N annulus area in both directions.
Dual-Side Tooling
Mounts the primary workpiece on the front rod end and a secondary cam or position flag on the rear rod end for integrated automation.
Is the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX40S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160 mm bore when an application demands high bilateral force and strict anti-rotation control that a single-rod SAI cannot provide. If your load requirement is lower, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 200 mm bore provides 15079 N. The 40 mm stroke keeps the overall length compact, though the rear rod protrusion requires additional clearance.
This model uses a reduced mounting accessory set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2), omitting the FB, CA, CB, and CR brackets found on single-rod variants. Remember that the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock or hold the load. If position holding without live air pressure is required, consider a SAIL or BSAID variant, or an external pilot-operated check valve.
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 SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX40S FAQ
The double-rod design subtracts the rod area from both sides of the piston, resulting in equal extend and retract forces. It delivers 9425 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and 16964 N at 0.9 MPa.
Yes, as a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it shares the standardized mounting interface dimensions, making it a drop-in replacement for other ISO 15552 double-rod cylinders. It uses PT tapered ports and a reduced mounting bracket set.
