Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 25mm 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 SGCD160X25
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 balance output perfectly. Because the rod passes through both covers, the pressure area is identical on each face, yielding equal push and pull force. This symmetric load path prevents piston twist and is ideal for driving two tools at once. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel securely, while the G3/4 port handles high flow. With a 0.5 MPa output, you get a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which translates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Operating at 30-500 mm/s, the unit features adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly. Standard TPU seals offer long life across a -20 to +70 C range, with a Viton H option available for environments up to 150 C. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot support position sensing; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. A plain pneumatic cylinder does not hold load on air loss, so pair it with an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Clamping
Uses both extending rods to drive two opposing clamps simultaneously, ensuring perfectly balanced pressure across a wide workpiece.
Symmetric Transfer Arm
Mounts a gripping arm on one rod and a counterweight or cam on the rear rod to maintain an even load path during rapid part transfers.
Short-Stroke Pressing
Leverages the 25 mm stroke and equal 9425 N force for compact pressing or stamping tasks where consistent bidirectional pressure is required.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare the equal-both-ways output against neighbouring bores: the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore offers 15079 N. This 160 mm model sits in the middle, delivering 9425 N each way. Choose a double-rod configuration when your machine requires anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or a rear rod end to mount a sensor cam or secondary tool. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets, all conforming to the ISO 15552 mounting interface for fixture interchangeability. For strokes of 500 mm or longer, always use external guide rails to absorb side loads and prevent binding. Finally, because this SKU is non-magnetic, select the -S version if your control system requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
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 SGCD160X25 FAQ
The G3/4 port feeds a 160 mm bore that generates 9425 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is a double-rod design, this force is equal in both directions. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1922 kgf.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
