Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 250mm 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 SGCD160X250
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 160 mm bore that generates a safe working load of about 5655 N, which translates to lifting roughly 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the symmetric load path prevents piston twist. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option extending service to 150 C.

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 SGCD160X250 Is Used
Dual-Station Transfer
Drives two parallel conveyor indexing arms simultaneously from opposite rod ends, keeping stroke timing perfectly synchronized without external linkages.
Anti-Rotation Press
Uses the symmetric twin-rod load path to press bearings without piston twist, eliminating the need for external linear guides in compact assemblies.
Symmetric Lift Carriage
Balances vertical lifting loads evenly across both rod faces, ensuring smooth elevation of 480 kg material platforms with a safe 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250 the Right Cylinder?
Sized between the 125 mm bore (5734 N each way) and the 250 mm bore (23562 N), this 160 mm model outputs 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose a double-rod configuration when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a non-S SKU, it cannot host magnetic sensors. For this 250 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails carry any lateral side-load to prevent 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 SGCD160X250 FAQ
Force is equal both ways: 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 ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the G3/4 port feeds the 160 mm bore.
No, a plain cylinder drifts on air loss because the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. Also, this non-S SKU cannot take sensors, but the -S variant supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
