Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X300
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X300 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 300mm 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 SGCD160X300
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC SGCD160X300 is a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder built for demanding symmetrical motion. A piston rod exits both covers, meaning the pressure area stays identical on extension and retraction. This double-acting unit uses four steel tie rods to clamp its aluminium barrel, ensuring rigid structural integrity and a stable two-way piston seal. It feeds air through a G3/4 port and moves at 30-500 mm/s.
Because the output force is equal both ways, it provides a safe working load of about 5655 N, which translates to lifting roughly 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This non-magnetic SKU cannot host reed switches, but adding the -S variant enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, Viton H seals are available. Note that the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load on air loss.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X300 Is Used
Symmetrical Lift Platforms
Equal push and pull forces prevent droop on the return stroke, keeping heavy platform loads perfectly balanced during vertical transit.
Twin Tool Drive Stations
The rod extending from the rear cover can drive a secondary mechanism or operate a cam, synchronising two separate conveyor processes from one piston.
Anti-Rotation Machining Jigs
Two rods sharing the load path resist torsional twisting under heavy cutting forces, maintaining precise alignment for multi-spindle machining heads.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X300 the Right Cylinder?
Sized between the 125 mm bore (5734 N each way) and the 200 mm bore (15079 N each way), this 160 mm model outputs 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose a double-rod configuration when your machine requires anti-rotation guidance, drives twin tooling from opposite sides, or needs a back-end sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. At a 300 mm stroke, external guide rails are recommended to absorb side loads and prevent binding. This base SKU lacks a magnet, so order the -S version if you require CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position sensing.
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 SGCD160X300 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions. It generates 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air connects via a G3/4 port.
No. The 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke; they do not function as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
