Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 350mm 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 SGCD160X350
Delivering 9425 N of equal output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-rod cylinder is built on a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod frame. Because the piston rod passes through both covers, the effective pressure area is identical on the extend and retract strokes, completely eliminating the force differential found in single-rod units. This symmetric load path provides inherent anti-twist guidance, while the four steel tie rods clamping the aluminum barrel ensure structural rigidity under high pneumatic loads. The body features a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to absorb kinetic energy smoothly.
With a 9425 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is about 5655 N, which translates to lifting roughly 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors; adding the -S variant enables that sensing capability. For environments exceeding the standard -20 to +70 C range, Viton H seals extend the operating limit to 150 C. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load securely against gravity.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350 Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized workheads from opposite rod ends, ensuring perfectly matched timing for moving heavy pallets between machining stations.
Anti-Rotation Indexing
Uses the dual-rod symmetric load path to prevent mechanical twist during mid-stroke positioning of heavy industrial fixtures without external linear guides.
Symmetric Clamp Press
Applies 9425 N of equal clamping force from both sides simultaneously, holding large workpieces centered during heavy-duty assembly operations.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, compare the equal-both-ways force against your neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 5734 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15079 N. Choose this 160 mm bore when your application strictly requires equal push and pull forces, such as twin-tool driving, symmetric load handling, or rear-end sensor cam tracking. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets, all conforming to the ISO 15552 mounting interface for fixture interchangeability. Since the 350 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, you must use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding and premature seal wear. Remember this plain version cannot take sensors; specify an -S model if magnetic position detection is needed.
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 SGCD160X350 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the force is equal in both directions: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not have an internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You must select the -S variant of the SGCD160 to enable magnetic position sensing.
