Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 75mm 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 SGCD160X75
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 balance forces perfectly. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, and the G3/4 port matches the 160 mm bore. Because the rod passes through both covers, the pressure area stays identical each way, eliminating push-pull force mismatch.
This symmetric load path prevents piston rotation, making it ideal for guided lifting stages. The 9425 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, or about 480 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends heat resistance 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 SGCD160X75 Is Used
Symmetric Lift Platforms
Drives elevated guided platforms where equal push and pull forces prevent sudden drops or jerky shifts during vertical transit.
Twin-Tool Transfer
Uses the rod extending from the rear cover to operate a secondary mechanism or sensor cam simultaneously with the main front tool.
Anti-Twist Clamping
Holds heavy workpieces flat without piston rotation, ensuring precise machining tolerances on large metal components.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this actuator requires checking both neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 5734 N each way, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15079 N. Choose the 160 mm bore when your application demands exactly 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. A double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from one piston, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For any stroke over 500 mm, always use external guide rails 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 SGCD160X75 FAQ
Force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa, 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
No. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. For suspended or vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
