This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X60, 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 SID160X60
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X60 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 60mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X60, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X60
The AirTAC SID160X60 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 60mm stroke. A piston rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force is equal both ways at 9425 N @0.5 MPa, 13194 N @0.7 MPa, and 16964 N @0.9 MPa. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take a magnetic switch. It uses a G3/4 port, an M36x2 rod thread, and 50mm adjustable air cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID160X60, matching the ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, and force.
The SAI replacement upgrades the piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock, pilot-operated check valve, or the SAIL/BSAI lock variant.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |

Where the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X60 Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal both ways force to ensure perfectly synchronized cutting cycles.
Anti-Rotation Divert Gate
Uses the dual-rod architecture to prevent rod twisting during high-speed diverting on a conveyor, maintaining precise gate alignment without external guides.
Symmetric Clamping Fixture
Applies 9425 N @0.5 MPa of clamping force from both ends of a fixture to hold heavy workpieces centered, balancing the load perfectly across the tool.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X60 with the SAID160X60
To replace the discontinued SID160X60, use the SAID160X60 directly; it preserves the G3/4 port, M36x2 thread, 50mm cushion, and ISO 15552 mounting dimensions without altering your layout. Because force is equal both ways, you can size both directions identically; if you need less force, step down to the 125mm bore (5734 N @0.5 MPa), or step up to the 200mm bore (15080 N @0.5 MPa) for more. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability, the ability to drive two tools, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support sensing. For this 60mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for any stroke >=300mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X60
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
