This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID160X900S, 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 SID160X900S
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X900S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 900mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID160X900S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X900S
The AirTAC SID160X900S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder featuring a 160mm bore and 900mm stroke. Because a rod exits both ends, push and pull forces are equal at 9425N @0.5MPa, 13194N @0.7MPa, and 16964N @0.9MPa. This model is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID160X900S. It shares the same G3/4 port, M36x2 rod thread, and 50mm adjustable cushion. The SAI upgrade uses a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
With a 900mm stroke, external guides are recommended to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -S suffix denotes a piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B sensors. Note that air cushions only decelerate; for load holding on air loss, 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 | — |

Where the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X900S Is Used
Twin-Tool Drive
Drives two opposing tools simultaneously from one piston, utilizing the equal force on both rod ends for balanced machining or forming operations.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves heavy pallets along a conveyor without rotational drift, using the inherent stability of the double-rod construction to maintain precise alignment.
Symmetric Lift Station
Lifts and lowers a 480kg payload vertically, using the rear rod to mount a sensor cam for mid-stroke positioning feedback.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID160X900S with the SAID160X900S
To replace the discontinued SID160X900S, use the SAID160X900S directly—it matches the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing, verify that 9425N @0.5MPa is sufficient both ways; if not, step up to the 200mm bore. Choose a double-rod design when you need anti-rotation, a back rod for sensor cams, or to drive two tools. Reuse FA, LB, or TC mounts. The -S magnet works with legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 900mm stroke, add external guides to handle side-load and rod-bending risks.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID160X900S
- ✓ 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 SID160X900S FAQ
Yes, the SID160X900S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID160X900S. It shares the same ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 900mm stroke, G3/4 port, and mounting options, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Force is equal both ways: 9425N @0.5MPa, 13194N @0.7MPa, and 16964N @0.9MPa. The air port is G3/4, the rod thread is M36x2, and it features 50mm adjustable cushions at each end. Speed range is 30-500mm/s.
