This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X160S, 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 SID160X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X160S
The AirTAC SID160X160S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 160mm stroke. A 40mm rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force is equal both ways (9425N at 0.5MPa). This model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID160X160S, matching the G3/4 port, M36x2 thread, and 50mm cushions. The SAI upgrade uses a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure.
Because the rod occupies both faces, force is identical in both directions. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding without live air, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant.

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 SAID160X160S 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 SID160X160S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal both ways force to maintain perfectly synchronized cutting pressure.
Anti-Rotation Transfer Unit
Moves heavy pallets along a conveyor line where the dual 40mm rods prevent rotational twist, ensuring precise linear tracking without external guides.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts a 480kg safety gate using the 9425N force at 0.5MPa, relying on the equal push and pull force to smoothly raise and lower the barrier.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X160S with the SAID160X160S
To replace the discontinued SID160X160S, install the direct replacement SAID160X160S, reusing the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC). Both ways force is 9425N at 0.5MPa; if sizing down, verify neighbouring bores handle this equal push/pull load. Choose a double-rod design when you need anti-rotation stability or to drive two tools. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For this 160mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for stroke >=300mm ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X160S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
