This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X1000, with the same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X1000, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000
The AirTAC SID160X1000 is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends. This yields equal force both ways (9425 N at 0.5 MPa), and the direct replacement is the SAID160X1000, retaining the 1000 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and M36x2 thread. The SAI upgrade features a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for low start-up pressure and long life.
Because both faces use the rod-side area, the push and pull forces match exactly. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, and the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate near stroke end—they do not hold loads on air loss.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAID160X1000 produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000 Is Used
Equal-Force Transfer
Drives a 1000 mm conveyor diverting mechanism where identical push and pull thrust of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa is required to shift heavy pallets symmetrically in both directions.
Dual-Tool Machining
Operates a multi-station machining line where the opposing rod end simultaneously carries a secondary tool or fixture, utilising the 160 mm bore for 13194 N at 0.7 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000 with the SAID160X1000
To replace the discontinued SID160X1000, use the SAID160X1000 directly; it shares the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and G3/4 port. When sizing, verify equal both-ways force (9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa) against your load, and check neighbouring bores (125 mm or 200 mm) if adjusting capacity. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation, equal work in both directions, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. As this is a non-S model, it cannot accept magnetic switches. For the 1000 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X1000
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X1000 FAQ
Yes, the SID160X1000 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID160X1000. It matches the ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting options. The SAI family also adds SAIL and BSAI lock variants the SI line lacked.
Force is equal both ways: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and 16964 N at 0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/4, the rod thread is M36x2, and it has 50 mm adjustable cushions. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads.
