Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X200S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X200S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 200mm 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 SGCD160X200S
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 force. The G3/4 port feeds a 40 mm rod passing through both covers, ensuring a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel for high structural rigidity, while the standard TPU seals provide long service life. A Viton H option extends operation up to 150 C.
Because the rod-side area drives motion both ways, you get identical push and pull power. The 9425 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of about 5655 N, or roughly 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for end-of-stroke detection, and adjustable 50 mm cushions decelerate the piston smoothly at both ends.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X200S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized clamps from opposite rod ends to shift heavy pallets between machining centers without rotation.
Symmetric Lift Station
Balances vertical lifting platforms from both ends, canceling side torque during heavy 480 kg material elevation.
Anti-Twist Press
Applies equal 13194 N clamping force at 0.7 MPa from both ends to keep press dies perfectly aligned during stamping.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X200S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare its 9425 N equal force against the smaller 125 mm bore (5734 N) and the larger 200 mm bore (15079 N). Choose this 160 mm model when your mechanism requires twin tooling driven from one piston, back-end sensor cam tracking, or strict anti-rotation guidance. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor integration. For any stroke at or above 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold suspended 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 SGCD160X200S FAQ
The double-rod design yields equal force both ways: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 40 mm rod, M36x2.0 thread, and G3/4 ports.
A rod exiting both ends creates a symmetric load path that prevents torsional twist, ideal for guiding vertical lifts or driving two tools simultaneously. The -S magnet also allows rear-mounted CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to track motion from either side.
