Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 50mm 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 SGCD160X50
Delivering 9425 N of equal force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC double-rod cylinder uses a symmetric load path to eliminate push-pull force disparity. The twin rods exit both covers to provide anti-twist guidance, and the four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel for high structural rigidity. It offers a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting about 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to the genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod standard, it drops directly into existing large-bore ISO 15552 mounting interfaces. This 160 mm bore unit features a 40 mm rod, a G3/4 air port, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions at each end. The standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends heat resistance up to 150 C.

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 SGCD160X50 Is Used
Twin-Tool Drive
Simultaneously operates two opposing forming tools from one piston stroke using the rods exiting both covers.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Raises and lowers a 480 kg vertical load with a 2:1 safety margin, keeping the platform perfectly level.
Anti-Twist Clamp
Secures wide workpieces without rotational drift, relying on the dual rods to prevent mechanical binding.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50 the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm (5734 N both ways) and 200 mm (15079 N both ways) options, giving you a clear upgrade path if your fixture changes. Choose a double-rod design when you need strict anti-rotation, want to drive two tools from one piston, or require a sensor cam on the back end. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Even at this short 50 mm stroke, always support external guide rails to absorb side loads and prevent binding.
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 SGCD160X50 FAQ
Force is equal both ways because the rod passes through both covers. It generates 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not hold load on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Additionally, this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without the -S option.
