Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm 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 SGCD160X1000
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod piston to equalize output force. It yields a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting about 480 kg with a 2:1 margin. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, while the G3/4 air port feeds the 40 mm rod.
Because a shaft exits both covers, the unit provides anti-twist guidance and a symmetric load path for driving twin tooling. This non-magnet SKU cannot host reed sensors, though adding an -S variant enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C heat.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000 Is Used
Dual-Station Transfer
Uses both protruding rods to push and retract pallets on parallel conveyor lines simultaneously with matched 9425 N force.
Balanced Lift Platform
Employs the symmetric load path of the twin rods to raise and lower heavy lifting stages without inducing piston twist.
Twin-Tool Pressing
Drives two separate forming tools from opposite rod ends, ensuring identical clamping pressure on both workpieces.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this 160 mm bore against its neighbors shows the scale: the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore pushes 15079 N. This 160 mm sits comfortably in the middle, offering 9425 N both ways. Choose a double-rod design when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, symmetric load distribution, or a rear shaft to mount a sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a non-S SKU, it cannot accept magnetic sensors. Finally, at a 1000 mm stroke, large-bore cylinders require external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads.
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 SGCD160X1000 FAQ
The double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a 1.5 MPa proof rating. The air port is G3/4.
No. The air cushions only decelerate near stroke end; a plain cylinder drifts without live air, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. Also, this specific non-S SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take sensors; the -S variant is required for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
