Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X400
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X400 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 400mm 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 SGCD160X400
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 guarantee identical push and pull power. The G3/4 port feeds a robust mechanism where four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring structural rigidity under heavy loads. This symmetric load path prevents rod twisting and provides stable guidance for demanding industrial fixtures.
Because the rod exits both covers, you can drive two tools simultaneously or mount a sensor cam on the back end. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position switches, but specifying the -S variant adds a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Expect a safe working load of about 5655 N, which translates to lifting roughly 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. A 50 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston at each end, though an external rod lock is required to hold a load securely without live air.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 9425 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 13195 N | 13195 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X400 Is Used
Dual-End Transfer Pusher
Drives a product diverter on one end while simultaneously operating a pneumatic flap on the opposite end, keeping cycle times perfectly synchronized.
Anti-Twist Machining Clamp
Secures heavy steel plates during milling operations, using the symmetric double-rod structure to prevent rotational drift under cutting vibration.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Raises and lowers a 400 kg machining fixture with equal force both up and down, ensuring smooth deceleration via the 50 mm adjustable cushions.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X400 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this actuator requires comparing adjacent bores: the 125 mm version yields 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while the 250 mm option pushes 23562 N. The 160 mm bore hits a sweet spot at 9425 N, ideal when you need twin tooling, anti-rotation guidance, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. For the 400 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails support any significant side loads to prevent bearing wear. Remember that this base model lacks a magnet; order an -S version if you require CMSG or DMSG electronic 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 SGCD160X400 FAQ
The double-rod design provides equal force both ways: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and it features a G3/4 air port.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
