Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75S 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 SGCD160X75S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod architecture to balance loads and prevent rotation. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel securely, and the G3/4 port matches the 160 mm bore standard. A rod exits each cover, driving a symmetric load path ideal for twin-tool stations.
Because both piston faces share the identical annular area, push and pull forces remain perfectly matched at 9425 N, yielding a safe working load of roughly 5655 N or a 480 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. 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 SGCD160X75S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two opposing tooling heads simultaneously from a single piston, ensuring perfectly synchronized part transfer between machining stations.
Balanced Lift Station
Lifts heavy pallets vertically with equal force on the rise and fall, using the symmetric load path to prevent guide bushing wear.
Anti-Rotation Clamp
Applies 9425 N of clamping pressure without rotational drift, as the dual rods lock the piston orientation firmly in place.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X75S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm option (5734 N each way) and the 200 mm size (15079 N each way), making it a solid mid-range choice. Select a double-rod design when your mechanism requires anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling on one carriage, or a rear sensor cam. Mounting hardware includes FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The -S magnet enables position sensing. Even at 75 mm stroke, always support external guide rails to absorb side loads and prevent 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 SGCD160X75S FAQ
The force is equal in both directions due to the double-rod design. It provides 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No, a standard cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. To hold a suspended load safely, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
