This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the SI series. You can still order this code here: we ship the direct replacement SAID63X160S, 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 SID63X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID63X160S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the direct replacement is the SAID63X160S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID63X160S
The AirTAC SID63X160S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where a rod exits both ends, ensuring push and pull force is equal both ways (1402 N @0.5 MPa). This bore features a 20 mm rod, M16x1.5 thread, and a G3/8 port. The SID line is discontinued; the direct replacement is the SAID63X160S, reusing the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, stroke, and force.
The SAI upgrade introduces a two Y-shaped one-way piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. A rear rod can carry a sensor cam or drive two tools simultaneously. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
The SAID63X160S 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 SID63X160S Is Used
Twin-Tool Machining Station
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously using both protruding rods, ensuring perfectly synchronized cutting cycles.
Equal-Force Transfer Pusher
Transfers workpieces between conveyor belts with identical push and pull force, preventing hesitation during bidirectional indexing.
Anti-Rotation Lift Gate
Lifts a guided vertical gate using the dual rods to resist torsional twisting, maintaining precise alignment without external guides.
Replacing the Airtac SID Series Double-Rod Cylinder SID63X160S with the SAID63X160S
Replace the discontinued SID63X160S directly with the SAID63X160S, retaining the original FA, LB, or TC mounts. Size both ways by checking equal force across neighbor bores: the 50 mm bore yields 825 N @0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N @0.5 MPa. A double rod is right when you need anti-rotation stability or equal force in both directions. The -S magnet enables position sensing. For this 160 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for stroke >=300 mm, verify guide tolerance to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAID63X160S
- ✓ 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 SID63X160S FAQ
Yes, the SID63X160S is discontinued. The direct replacement is the SAID63X160S, which shares the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, 160 mm stroke, G3/8 port, and equal-both-ways force.
The G3/8 port feeds a 63 mm bore with a 20 mm rod. Because it is double-rod, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. Speed is 30-800 mm/s.
