Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50S 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 SGCD160X50S
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 provide perfectly symmetric output. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel securely, while the G3/4 port feeds the chamber for rapid actuation. Because the rod passes through both covers, the effective area is identical on each side, eliminating force differential entirely.
With a safe working load of about 5655 N, it can vertically lift roughly 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position detection. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU.

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 SGCD160X50S Is Used
Twin-Spindle Machining
Drives two opposing machining heads simultaneously from a single symmetric piston, ensuring perfectly balanced cutting forces.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Uses the dual-rod geometry to lift and index heavy pallets without the torsional twist common to single-rod actuators.
Symmetric Pallet Lift
Lifts roughly 480 kg of vertical load evenly, using the equal push and pull forces to maintain platform stability.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X50S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore generates 9425 N each way at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 125 mm option (5734 N) and the 200 mm model (15079 N). A double-rod design is the correct choice when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from opposite ends, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S suffix ensures readiness for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Even at this short 50 mm stroke, always guide the external load to prevent side-load 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 SGCD160X50S FAQ
The G3/4 port feeds a 160 mm bore that outputs 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is a double-rod design, this force is equal in both directions. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. To prevent drift on air loss, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
