Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000S 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 SGCD160X1000S
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 balance forces perfectly. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, while the G3/4 port handles high airflow. With a 1000 mm stroke, it provides a safe working load of about 5655 N, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Because the rod passes through both covers, you get a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist and allows driving two tools simultaneously. The integrated -S magnet enables precise position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Standard TPU seals offer long life across -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for environments up to 150 C.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 9425 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 13195 N | 13195 N |

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000S Is Used
Synchronized Transfer
Drives dual pusher arms from both rod ends simultaneously to move heavy pallets across a wide conveyor without twisting.
Twin-Spindle Machining
Advances and retracts two opposing machining heads with equal 9425 N force, maintaining strict parallelism during metal cutting.
Balanced Platen Lift
Lifts and lowers a heavy platen vertically using the bottom rod, while the top rod carries a sensor cam for precise height tracking.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X1000S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm (5734 N) and 200 mm (15079 N) sizes, giving you a robust middle ground for heavy-duty actuation. Choose the double-rod configuration when your application demands anti-rotation stability, symmetric load distribution, or a rear-end sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix ensures you are ready for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG electronic or reed sensors. Because the stroke is 1000 mm, external guide rails are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and absorb 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 SGCD160X1000S FAQ
Force is equal both ways at 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is G3/4 and the rod thread is M36x2.0.
No, a standard pneumatic cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centered, as the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. You must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold a load securely.
