Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X700S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X700S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 700mm 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 SGCD160X700S
Delivering 9425 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting double-rod cylinder features a 160 mm bore and a 700 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both covers, the effective pressure area is identical on extension and retraction, completely eliminating the force differential found in single-rod units. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel securely, while the G3/4 port handles the necessary air volume. A built-in magnet (-S) enables position sensing.
This genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod build drops directly into existing large-bore ISO 15552 mounting interfaces without custom brackets. The twin rods create a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, making it ideal for guiding heavy platens or driving dual tools simultaneously. With 9425 N available, you get 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 this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X700S Is Used
Dual-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized gripping fingers on a transfer line, using the rod extending from each end to carry independent tooling heads without twist.
Symmetric Platen Lift
Lifts heavy machining platens evenly from both rod ends, ensuring the load path remains perfectly balanced and preventing binding during vertical motion.
Rear-Cam Sensing
Utilizes the protruding rear rod as a mechanical cam for external limit switches while the front rod performs the primary work stroke.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X700S the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this model requires looking both ways: stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 5734 N each way, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore provides 15079 N. The 160 mm bore sits comfortably in the middle for medium-heavy industrial loads. Choose the double-rod configuration when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or a rear rod end to mount a sensor cam or secondary tool. Available SGCD mountings include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S suffix confirms the piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Because the 700 mm stroke is substantial, always provide external guide rails to support side loads and prevent rod bending over long extensions.
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 SGCD160X700S FAQ
Force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design: 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 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends and uses a G3/4 port.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic position sensors. It does not provide load holding. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; on air loss, the load will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
