This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X600, 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 SID160X600
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X600 is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 600mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X600, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X600
The AirTAC SID160X600 is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends on one piston, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 9425 N @0.5 MPa, 13194 N @0.7 MPa, and 16964 N @0.9 MPa. This discontinued model uses a G3/4 air port, a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2 thread, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The direct replacement is the SAID160X600, sharing the same interface, bore, stroke, and mounting.
Because the effective area is identical on both faces, the double-rod design provides inherent anti-rotation properties and allows the rear rod to drive a second tool or carry a sensor cam. The SAI upgrade introduces an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for low start-up pressure and long life. Note this SKU lacks a -S magnet and cannot accept a magnetic switch.

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 SAID160X600 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 SID160X600 Is Used
Dual-Station Conveyor Transfer
Drives a pusher plate from one end while the opposing rod simultaneously retracts a diverter, maintaining perfectly synchronized equal both ways force across a 600 mm travel.
Anti-Rotation Machining Clamp
Uses the twin-rod architecture to clamp heavy parts without rotational drift, ensuring repeatable tolerances during high-force milling or drilling operations.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X600 with the SAID160X600
To replace the discontinued SID160X600, install the SAID160X600 directly—it preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, 600 mm stroke, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify your force requirements against the 9425 N @0.5 MPa baseline; if a smaller footprint is needed, the neighboring 125 mm bore yields 5734 N @0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15080 N. A double rod is the right choice when you need strict anti-rotation, external guidance, or a back rod to drive a second mechanism. Reuse your FA, LB, or TC mounts, and if you require position sensing, select an -S magnet variant since this base SKU cannot take a switch. For the 600 mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X600
- ✓ 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 SID160X600 FAQ
Yes, the SID160X600 is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID160X600, which matches the ISO 15552 interface, 160 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, G3/4 port, and equal both ways force.
The double-acting double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 9425 N @0.5 MPa, 13194 N @0.7 MPa, and 16964 N @0.9 MPa. The bore dictates a G3/4 air port, a 40 mm rod, an M36x2 thread, and 50 mm adjustable cushions. It operates at 30-500 mm/s.
