Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250S 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 SGCD160X250S
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 robust 160 mm bore built on four steel tie rods that clamp the aluminum barrel. Because the rod passes through both covers, the pressure area stays identical each way, yielding 13194 N at 0.7 MPa.
This symmetric layout prevents piston rotation and supports twin tooling or a rear sensor cam. The built-in magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position feedback. Factoring a 60 percent safety margin, the 9425 N output translates to roughly 5655 N of safe working load, or about 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 ratio.

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 SGCD160X250S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously from one piston, keeping cutting forces perfectly balanced.
Symmetric Divert Gate
Uses both rod ends to push and pull a diverting flap without the rotational drift common to single rods.
Dual-End Pallet Stop
Extends a physical stop blade from both covers to arrest heavy pallets while triggering a rear position switch.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X250S the Right Cylinder?
Positioned between the 125 mm bore (5734 N each way) and the 200 mm bore (15079 N each way), this 160 mm size fits mid-to-heavy tasks. Choose a double-rod configuration when your mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load paths, or dual-end tooling. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The included -S magnet allows electronic or reed switch integration. Since the 250 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load damage to the rod seals.
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 SGCD160X250S FAQ
The double-rod design yields equal force 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. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value.
Yes, the -S indicates a built-in piston magnet designed for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. A standard no-S SKU cannot accept these sensors. Also, note that air cushions only decelerate the load; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold position.
