This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X800S, 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 SID160X800S
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X800S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 800mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X800S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X800S
The AirTAC SID160X800S is a discontinued double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force are equal at 9425 N @0.5 MPa, 13194 N @0.7 MPa, and 16964 N @0.9 MPa. The direct replacement is the SAID160X800S, sharing the same 160mm bore, 800mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting interface. The SAI family upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
This 160mm bore model features a 40mm piston rod, M36x2 rod thread, and 50mm adjustable air cushions at each end. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches; current AirTAC switches are used on the SAI replacement.

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 SAID160X800S 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 SID160X800S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads from a single 160mm bore piston, utilising the equal push and pull force of 13194 N @0.7 MPa for synchronized material removal.
Anti-Rotation Transfer Unit
Moves heavy pallets along an 800mm stroke using the dual-rod architecture to prevent mechanical twisting, maintaining precise alignment without external guides.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X800S with the SAID160X800S
To replace the discontinued SID160X800S, install the SAID160X800S directly; it matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and G3/4 port. Size both directions by verifying the equal force (9425 N @0.5 MPa) handles your load, or step to neighbouring bores (125mm or 200mm) if margins are tight. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or want to drive two tools from one piston. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet enables sensing. For this 800mm stroke, use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads. For load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant, as cushions only decelerate.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X800S
- ✓ 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 SID160X800S FAQ
Yes, the SID160X800S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID160X800S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 800mm stroke, G3/4 port, and equal-both-ways force, but adds an upgraded Y-shaped piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 9425 N @0.5 MPa, 13194 N @0.7 MPa, and 16964 N @0.9 MPa. The air port is G3/4. A plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for holding.
