The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X700 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 700mm 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.
Delivering 5734 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod piston to provide perfectly symmetric output. The design guarantees equal push and pull forces, making it ideal for about 3440 N of real work or roughly 292 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. A rod extends from each end, which prevents twisting and allows you to drive two separate tools simultaneously.
Built on a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without compatibility issues. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, while the G1/2 port handles the 30-500 mm/s speed range. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors. Note that the 40 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the 700 mm stroke; they do not hold the load if air pressure drops.

| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 5734 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8027 N | 8027 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Uses both extending rods to push pallets on parallel conveyor lanes simultaneously, keeping the stroke perfectly synchronized without external linkages.
Employs the twin-rod geometry to prevent twist during heavy clamping, ensuring the tool plate stays perfectly aligned through the full 700 mm travel.
Drives a vertical lifting platform where the equal pull and push forces balance the load, preventing sagging at the end of the 700 mm descent.
When sizing this unit, compare the 5734 N equal force at 125 mm against the larger 160 mm bore, which outputs 9425 N both ways. The 125 mm bore is the smallest in this heavy-duty series, so if your application requires less than 4000 N, a smaller standard cylinder might fit better. Choose the double-rod configuration when you need strict anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load paths, or a rear rod to act as a sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because the 700 mm stroke creates a long lever arm, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads. Remember that this non-magnetized version cannot support position sensing.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1169 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, uses a G1/2 port, and features 40 mm adjustable cushions at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must order the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Additionally, the cushions only decelerate the piston; you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold the load vertically.
