Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100S 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 SGCD160X100S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder outputs equal force in both directions. A 40 mm piston rod passes through both covers, creating a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, and the G3/4 air port feeds a two-way piston seal designed for 30 to 500 mm/s travel.
This -S variant includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. It yields a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which is about 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends heat resistance 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 SGCD160X100S Is Used
Dual-End Transfer Pusher
Drives a transfer carriage from the rear rod while the front rod mounts a stopper blade, keeping the load path perfectly symmetric on the conveyor line.
Anti-Twist Machining Clamp
Clamps heavy castings during milling by using the equal both-ways 9425 N force to prevent rotational deflection under aggressive cutting forces.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts a 480 kg platen vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, using the through-rod geometry to maintain parallelism without sagging.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X100S the Right Cylinder?
Size this 160 mm bore against the 125 mm option, which provides 5734 N both ways, or the larger 200 mm model, which delivers 15079 N. The double-rod layout is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a cam for rear-end sensing. Mounting hardware includes FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix ensures switch readiness. Because this 100 mm stroke is short, side-load stress is minimal, but any setup over 500 mm requires 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 SGCD160X100S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal 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. It features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod-end thread.
No, a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost because the adjustable 50 mm air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end. To hold a load securely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
