Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600S 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 SGCD160X600S
Delivering 9425 N of equal output force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC double-rod ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a 160 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke. The twin-rod architecture yields a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, while the four steel tie rods clamping the aluminum barrel ensure high structural rigidity. It feeds via a G3/4 port and includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.
With a 0.5 MPa input, expect a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which translates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends heat resistance up to 150 C. Because the 600 mm stroke is fairly long, external guide rails are recommended to prevent rod bending under heavy offset loads.

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 SGCD160X600S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized workpieces from opposite rod ends simultaneously, ensuring perfectly balanced part transfer without torsional deflection.
Symmetric Lift Station
Provides equal push and pull force for vertical lifting platforms where the load must remain centered and stable through the entire 600 mm travel.
Anti-Rotation Stopper
Acts as a heavy-duty gate or stop mechanism on high-speed material lines, using the dual rods to prevent twisting under sudden side impacts.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X600S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm option (5734 N equal force) and the 200 mm size (15079 N), making it a solid mid-range choice for substantial loads. A double-rod design is ideal when you need anti-rotation stability, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a rear rod acting as a sensor cam. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix confirms compatibility with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. For the 600 mm stroke, always use an external linear guide to absorb side loads and protect the piston rod from bending.
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 SGCD160X600S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions because of the double-rod design. It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No. A standard pneumatic cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
