Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25S 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 SGCD160X25S
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 air port feeds a 40 mm rod passing through both covers, yielding a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel for high structural rigidity.
Because the rod exits both ends, it provides inherent anti-twist guidance and a symmetric load path ideal for driving two tools simultaneously. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for end-position sensing. This translates to a safe working load of about 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting roughly 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Clamping
Drives two opposing machining fixtures simultaneously using the symmetric front and rear rods, ensuring perfectly balanced clamping force on both sides of a workpiece.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Moves a heavy pallet between conveyor stations without rotational drift, relying on the dual rods to maintain strict load orientation during rapid 30-500 mm/s transit.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Raises and lowers a 480 kg vertical load with equal push and pull thrust, using the 9425 N bidirectional force to stabilize the platform through the entire travel range.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X25S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, step down to the 125 mm bore for 5734 N equal force, or up to the 200 mm bore for 15079 N if your fixture needs more push. Choose this 160 mm double-rod format when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation, twin-tool driving, or a rear sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The included -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. For any stroke exceeding 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load wear on 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 SGCD160X25S FAQ
It generates 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No, the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it does not lock. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
