Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X150
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 150mm 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 SGCD160X150
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this SGCD160X150 double-rod tie-rod cylinder uses a G3/4 port to power symmetrical motions. The twin-rod layout outputs equal force on extension and retraction, providing a stable anti-rotation load path and allowing a sensor cam or secondary tool to mount on the back end. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. Built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard large-bore fixtures without custom brackets.
This 160 mm bore unit yields a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which equates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It runs at 30-500 mm/s and features 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to smooth out heavy stops. As a non-magnet SKU, it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors; adding the -S variant enables that switch capability. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends heat resistance 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 SGCD160X150 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously using the equal push and pull force from both extending rods.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Shifts heavy pallets across a belt by pushing and pulling with identical 9425 N force to prevent rotational twist.
Balanced Lift Station
Lifts roughly 480 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 margin, relying on the dual rods for stable guidance.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X150 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, step down to the 125 mm bore for 5734 N of equal force, or move up to the 200 mm bore for 15079 N if your fixture needs more thrust. Choose the SGCD twin-rod format when your mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from one piston, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 blocks. Since this 150 mm stroke is under 500 mm, external guide rails are less critical, but always support side loads on longer travels. Remember that this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept position switches.
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 SGCD160X150 FAQ
Because the rod passes through both covers, force is equal in both directions. It outputs 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum pull force is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, a standard SGCD does not hold load without live air; the 50 mm cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For a suspended load you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
