Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X220TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X220TC is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 220mm 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 SGCD160X220TC
Delivering 9425 N of equal output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-rod cylinder features a 160 mm bore and a 220 mm stroke. The twin-rod architecture means the pressure area is identical on each side, ensuring perfectly symmetric push and pull dynamics. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod-end thread. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing high structural rigidity while remaining dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface.
With a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, it can manage a vertical lift of about 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends smoothly decelerate the piston near stroke limits. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, Viton H seals are available instead of the standard TPU.

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 SGCD160X220TC Is Used
Dual-End Transfer Pusher
Drives a transfer carriage on a conveyor using the front rod while the rear rod simultaneously cycles a diverter gate, keeping timing perfectly synchronized.
Anti-Twist Forming Press
Applies 9425 N of clamping pressure through both rods to hold an automotive component flat during a stamping operation, preventing rotational drift.
Symmetric Vertical Lifter
Lifts heavy palletized goods evenly from both ends of a lifting beam, using the equal pull force to maintain horizontal balance without racking.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X220TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, consider the neighboring bores: the 125 mm option yields 5734 N each way, while the 250 mm version provides 23562 N. This 160 mm model is the right call when your mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, twin-tool driving from one piston, a symmetric load path, or back-end sensor cam actuation. It supports FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts, with the TC clevis fitting standard ISO 15552 trunnion accessories. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host magnetic switches. For any stroke at or beyond 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding and premature seal wear.
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 SGCD160X220TC FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways using the pull-side area. It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and it uses a G3/4 port.
No, a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered; the 50 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and act as a brake. To hold a load securely, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
