The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X800S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 800mm 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 double-acting double-rod cylinder uses a rod-side area on both piston faces to guarantee identical push and pull output. The twin-rod layout provides a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, while the rear extension can drive a secondary mechanism or carry a sensor cam. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. Equipped with a G1/2 port, it offers safe working loads around 3440 N, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 292 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
This large-bore unit is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping easily into existing ISO 15552 fixtures. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C. Adjustable 40 mm air cushions at both ends manage end-of-stroke deceleration, though an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load securely without live air.

| 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.
Drives two synchronized workpieces from a single piston, using both rod extensions to actuate parallel clamps in an automated assembly line.
Lifts and lowers a 292 kg platen vertically, relying on the equal both-ways force to maintain a balanced load path without drift.
Acts as a high-force stopper gate where torsional stability is critical, using the twin rods to prevent rotation under off-center impacts.
When sizing this 125 mm bore, stepping down is not an option as it is the smallest available, but stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 9425 N of equal force at 0.5 MPa if your application demands more power. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling operation, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S magnet enables precise position sensing. Because this model has an 800 mm stroke, external guide rails and rod-end support are strictly advised to prevent rod bending and excessive side loading.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1169 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is G1/2 and the rod-end thread is M27x2.0.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, and the 40 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To hold a load securely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
