Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X450S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X450S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 450mm 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 SGCD160X450S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC SGCD160X450S is a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder built for demanding symmetrical motion tasks. Because a 40 mm piston rod exits both ends of the 160 mm bore, the effective pressure area is identical on the extend and retract strokes. This double-rod geometry creates a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, making it ideal for guiding heavy platens. The G3/4 port feeds air efficiently, while four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers.
With a 450 mm stroke, this unit is highly capable for substantial vertical lifting, offering a safe working load of roughly 5655 N or about 480 kg lifted with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for hot environments.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 9425 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 13195 N | 13195 N |

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X450S Is Used
Symmetrical Platen Press
Drives a heavy machining platen with equal push and pull force, using the twin rods to prevent torsional deflection during off-center cutting operations.
Dual-End Transfer Arm
Simultaneously actuates two parallel conveyor sorting gates from a central position, ensuring perfectly synchronized package diversion across the belt.
Vertical Lift Station
Lifts roughly 480 kg of palletized goods in a balanced vertical lift rig, relying on the equal both-ways force for smooth descent and stable holding dynamics.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X450S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting family, step down to the 125 mm bore for 5734 N of equal force, or move up to the 200 mm bore for 15079 N if you need greater thrust. The 160 mm bore sits comfortably in the middle, providing 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose the SGCD double-rod configuration when your mechanism requires anti-rotation stability, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a rear-mounted sensor cam. Mounting hardware includes FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because the stroke is 450 mm, external load guides are recommended to prevent side-loading damage. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed switch tracking.
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 SGCD160X450S FAQ
This cylinder uses a G3/4 air port and delivers equal force in both directions because of the double-rod design. It outputs 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and has a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means the cylinder has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. A plain cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss because the cushion only decelerates near stroke end; for secure load holding you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
