Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350S 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 SGCD160X350S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust and pull at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder outputs equal force in both directions. The twin-rod architecture passes a 40 mm piston rod through both covers, creating a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist. This translates to a safe working load of about 5655 N, or roughly 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel, while the G3/4 port feeds the chamber efficiently.
Because the unit carries the -S suffix, it includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing large-bore fixtures. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends heat resistance up to 150 C. Adjustable 50 mm air cushions absorb kinetic energy at both stroke ends.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously using the symmetric output rods, ensuring perfectly synchronized cutting cycles.
Anti-Rotation Divert Gate
Actuates a heavy routing flap without torsional deflection, relying on the dual rods to maintain precise angular alignment.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Pushes and pulls a 480 kg vertical load carriage with equal force, maintaining stable motion during up and down strokes.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X350S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this 160 mm bore against its neighbors shows a clear step: the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N each way, while the 250 mm hits 23562 N. This model sits comfortably in the middle, offering 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose a double-rod design when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, needs to drive twin tooling stations from one piston, or requires a sensor cam on the back end. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. Since the 350 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, you must use external guide rails to prevent side-load sagging and seal wear. Note that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
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 SGCD160X350S FAQ
Force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It generates 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
The -S indicates a built-in piston magnet. This allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG series switches directly onto the cylinder barrel for electronic or reed position detection.
