Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 600mm 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 SGCD160X600
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod architecture to guarantee identical push and pull forces. The piston rod passes through both covers, creating a symmetric load path that resists torsional twisting. This makes the unit good for about 5655 N of real work, roughly 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. A G3/4 port feeds the chambers, while four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the end covers.
As a genuine ISO 15552 component, it drops directly into existing large-bore mounting interfaces without custom fabrication. The standard TPU seals provide excellent wear resistance across the -20 to +70 C range, though a Viton H option extends this to 150 C for high-heat environments. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG position sensors without upgrading to the -S variant. Furthermore, the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold a load on air loss, which requires an external rod lock.

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 SGCD160X600 Is Used
Dual-Station Transfer
Drives two parallel conveyor diverters simultaneously using the opposing rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized material routing without twisting.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Lifts heavy industrial platens with equal force on the raise and lower strokes, maintaining smooth vertical guidance for a 480 kg payload.
Anti-Rotation Press
Applies 9425 N of clamping pressure in a machining fixture where the twin-rod construction prevents the tool head from rotating under offset loads.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this double-rod actuator involves comparing neighboring bores: the 125 mm version yields 5734 N each way, while the 250 mm option pushes 23562 N. The 160 mm bore sits comfortably in the middle, offering 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Choose a double-rod design when your mechanism demands anti-rotation stability, needs to drive two tools simultaneously from one piston, or requires a sensor cam on the back end. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because this unit has a 600 mm stroke, you must provide external guide rails to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads. Finally, since this is a non-magnet SKU, switch to an -S model if you require CMSG/DMSG/EMSG 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 SGCD160X600 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches, you must select the -S variant of the SGCD160. Without the internal magnet, external mechanical or proximity sensors must be used for position feedback.
