Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175S 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 SGCD160X175S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder features a piston rod exiting both covers. Because the pressure area is identical on each face, push and pull forces remain perfectly equal at 13194 N when running at 0.7 MPa. The 160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port, a 40 mm rod, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions at each end.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for position sensing. This symmetric load path yields a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which translates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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 SGCD160X175S Is Used
Dual-Station Transfer
Drives two parallel conveyor diverters simultaneously using the rod extending from each end, keeping timing perfectly synchronized.
Anti-Rotation Press
Prevents piston twist during high-force pressing operations by utilizing the inherent guidance of twin rods for precise alignment.
Symmetric Lift Fixture
Balances heavy lifting platforms evenly from both ends, avoiding cantilever stress and ensuring smooth vertical descent.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X175S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm option (5734 N each way) and the 200 mm class (15079 N each way), giving you a robust middle-ground output. Choose the double-rod configuration when your machine requires anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, twin tooling driven from one piston, or a rear rod acting as a sensor cam. Mounting hardware includes Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix ensures you have a piston magnet ready for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Even though the stroke is 175 mm, always support side loads with external guide rails to prevent binding, and note that a plain cylinder cannot hold a load without live air—use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety.
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 SGCD160X175S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design: 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 160 mm bore, a 40 mm rod, and a G3/4 air port.
A rod exiting both ends creates an identical pressure area on each face, yielding equal push and pull forces while providing superior anti-twist resistance. It also allows you to drive two separate mechanisms or mount a sensor cam on the rear rod.
