Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/4 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 SGCD160X100
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore double-rod cylinder eliminates the area differential found in single-rod units. The twin rods provide a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, making it highly effective for non-rotating guidance tasks. It yields a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting about 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built on a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod frame, four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for structural rigidity under high stress. Air enters via a G3/4 port, and adjustable 50 mm cushions decelerate the piston at both ends. This base SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 9425 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 13195 N | 13195 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100 Is Used
Balanced Lift Station
Drives a synchronized vertical lift platform where equal push and pull forces prevent sagging on the return stroke.
Twin-Tool Indexer
Simultaneously actuates two opposing forming tools from a single piston, utilizing the rod protruding from each cover.
Anti-Rotation Clamp
Holds heavy sheet metal flat during machining, relying on the dual rods to resist torsional deflection under offset loads.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this actuator requires checking both neighbors: the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N each way, while the 250 mm bore offers 23562 N. Choose the 160 mm bore when you need 9425 N at 0.5 MPa with symmetric push-pull dynamics. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation stability, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a rear rod to carry a sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. For this 100 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but any application exceeding 500 mm of stroke should use external guide rails to prevent binding.
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 SGCD160X100 FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No. A standard double-rod cylinder drifts without live air, as the 50 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. To hold a suspended load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
