Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 175mm 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 SGCD160X175
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. The G3/4 port feeds a robust four-steel-tie-rod assembly that clamps the aluminum barrel securely to the covers. Because the rod passes through both ends, the pressure area stays identical on extension and retraction, yielding perfectly symmetric load paths.
This symmetric design naturally resists torsional twist and can drive two separate tools simultaneously from one piston. In practical terms, it handles a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which translates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends heat resistance up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Drilling
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously with equal 9425 N thrust, keeping the part perfectly stressed on both sides.
Balanced Lift Station
Lifts roughly 480 kg of vertical load symmetrically, using the through-rod geometry to prevent platform twisting during elevation.
Dual-End Transfer
Pushes a workpiece forward while simultaneously retracting a return tooling arm at the back, synchronizing two conveyor actions.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175 the Right Cylinder?
Sitting between the 125 mm bore (5734 N each way) and the 200 mm bore (15079 N each way), this 160 mm size is the mid-range choice for heavy symmetric loads. Choose a double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling on one axis, or a back-end sensor cam. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; add the -S option if you require position sensing. For any stroke at or over 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load 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 SGCD160X175 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions. It outputs 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 to 1.0 MPa, and it uses a G3/4 air port.
No. A plain SGCD cylinder drifts on air loss because the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without the -S option.
