About the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX700S
The AirTAC SAID160X700-S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 profile cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 700mm stroke. Because a piston rod extends from both end covers, the annular area is identical on both sides, yielding exactly 9425 N of force at 0.5 MPa in both extend and retract directions. This through-rod design is ideal for applications requiring dual-side guidance, anti-rotation control, or mounting a secondary mechanism and position flag on the rear rod.
Equipped with a -S magnet, this unit interfaces directly with AirTAC CMSE reed and DMSE solid-state electronic sensors housed in the dual-side barrel grooves. It features a SUS420J2 stainless steel rod for enhanced corrosion resistance and uses PT tapered port threads. The adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to minimize impact, though they do not hold the load if air pressure is lost.

Where the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX700S Is Used
Symmetric Force Transfer
Push and pull heavy pallets or transfer carriages with identical 9425 N force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring consistent cycle timing without recalibrating pressure for the retract stroke.
Twin-Station Actuation
Drive a primary workpiece on the front rod end while utilizing the rear rod end to actuate a secondary mechanism or tooling station simultaneously.
Anti-Rotation Slides
Leverage the dual-rod guidance to prevent mechanical rotation during heavy lifting or pressing, maintaining strict perpendicularity for precision assembly tasks.
Is the Airtac SAID160 Double Rod Cylinder SAID160AX700S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 160mm bore when an application demands high symmetric force, stepping up from the 125mm bore (which provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa) or stepping down from the 200mm bore (15079 N at 0.5 MPa). The double-rod architecture is selected over a single-rod SAI when twin-station actuation or strict anti-rotation guidance is required. To mount this cylinder, use the SAID accessory set: Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 (note that FB, CA, CB, and CR are omitted from this series).
At 700mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to side-load bending and rod-bearing wear. For this long stroke, adding an external guide rail is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal failure. Remember that a plain SAID cylinder drifts if air is exhausted or the valve centers; for position holding without live pressure, consider a SAIL lock, BSAID clamp-lock, or external pilot-operated check valve.

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 SAID160AX700S FAQ
Because the rod occupies both sides of the piston, the effective area is equal in both directions. It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and 16964 N at 0.9 MPa for both extend and retract strokes.
Yes, the SAID160X700-S is dimensionally interchangeable per ISO 15552 profile cylinder standards. It uses a PT G3/4 port and supports the reduced SAID mounting set (Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, TCM2) for easy integration.
