Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 80mm 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 SGCD160X80
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod architecture to equalize push and pull forces. The symmetric load path prevents piston rotation, making it highly stable for precision tasks. At 0.5 MPa it handles a safe working load of about 5655 N, which translates to lifting roughly 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers, ensuring rigid high-pressure operation up to 1.0 MPa. Air enters via a G3/4 port, and adjustable 50 mm cushions decelerate the piston at both ends. This plain SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; order the -S version for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch readiness.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Lifting
Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston using the rod extending from each cover, ensuring perfectly matched vertical feed rates.
Anti-Rotation Transfer
Shifts heavy pallets laterally across a conveyor line where the dual-rod symmetric load path prevents chassis twist and maintains precise alignment.
Symmetric Clamp Jig
Secures heavy fabricated steel frames by clamping from both ends simultaneously, delivering 9425 N of balanced holding force at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this actuator requires balancing your space against the equal-both-ways force: the smaller SGCD125 bore provides 5734 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SGCD200 offers 15079 N. Choose this 160 mm bore when a twin-rod layout is essential for anti-rotation guidance, driving two tools simultaneously from one piston, or mounting a sensor cam on the back end. It supports FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts per the ISO 15552 interface. Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, it cannot host reed switches. For any application exceeding 500 mm of stroke, add 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 SGCD160X80 FAQ
Because the rod passes through both covers, force is identical in both directions: 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 to both. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not hold load on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.
