Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its large-bore tie-rod build delivers high thrust and drops into standardized ISO 15552 mounting on heavy automation.

About the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000
Delivering 5734 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder features a piston rod exiting both covers. Because the pressure area is identical on each face, push and pull forces remain perfectly equal at 8028 N when running at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric load path prevents piston twist, while the four steel tie rods clamping the aluminum barrel ensure high structural rigidity. It connects via a G1/2 port and uses a 32 mm rod with an M27x2.0 thread.
With a 1000 mm stroke, this unit is built for long-reach tasks, though such extended travels require external guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads. It provides a safe working load of about 3440 N, which translates to lifting roughly 292 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, the standard TPU seals can be swapped for Viton H.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000 Is Used
Dual-Station Transfer
Drives two parallel conveyor indexing arms simultaneously from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized part movement without torsional deflection.
Balanced Lift Station
Lifts roughly 292 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 safety margin, using the symmetric double-rod layout to keep the platform perfectly level during elevation.
Long-Stroke Forming Press
Provides 5734 N of equal force for a 1000 mm deep-draw operation, relying on external guides to maintain ram alignment over the extended travel.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 125 mm bore when you need 5734 N of equal both-ways force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the smaller 160 mm bore offers 9425 N; stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15079 N, and the 250 mm bore provides 23562 N, with the 125 mm sitting at the low edge of the family. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, want to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston, or require a sensor cam on the back end. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a 1000 mm stroke, you must use external guides to manage side loads and prevent rod bending. This non-magnet model cannot take sensors; add the -S suffix for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch readiness.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Long-stroke side load — support the rod end
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load; support long strokes at the rod end.
- check Set cushions to minimum, then release gradually.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X1000 FAQ
The double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa, 8028 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 1169 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s, accepts a G1/2 port, and features a 32 mm rod with an M27x2.0 thread and 40 mm adjustable air cushions.
No, a plain SGCD does not hold load on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. Additionally, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take sensors; you must specify the -S option to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
