Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 800mm 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 SGCD160X800
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 equalize force. That symmetric output translates to a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting about 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The G3/4 port feeds the 160 mm barrel, clamped between covers by four steel tie rods for high structural rigidity.
Because the shaft passes through both end covers, the unit resists torsional twist and provides a stable platform for mounting a sensor cam or secondary tool. This non-magnet SKU cannot host CMSG or DMSG switches without the -S option. Note that the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not lock the load, so fit an external pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold position against gravity.

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 SGCD160X800 Is Used
Dual-Station Conveyor Divert
Uses the protruding rear rod to operate a secondary sorting flap simultaneously, keeping both sides of a packaging line perfectly synced.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Drives a heavy vertical lift where equal push and pull force prevents sagging on the return stroke, ensuring the platform lowers smoothly under load.
Anti-Twist Press Head
Employs the twin-rod construction to guide a pressing head over an 800 mm stroke, eliminating rotational drift without external linear bearings.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this actuator requires checking both neighbours: step down to the 125 mm bore for 5734 N equal force, or step up to the 200 mm bore for 15079 N. Choose this 160 mm double-rod unit when your mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or a rear shaft to drive a secondary mechanism. It supports FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 mounts. As a non-magnet SKU it cannot accept sensors; add the -S suffix for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switch readiness. With an 800 mm stroke, large-bore side loads build up quickly, so always use external guide rails to prevent rod 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 SGCD160X800 FAQ
It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is a double-rod cylinder, this force is identical in both directions. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 160 mm bore, a G3/4 port, a 50 mm adjustable cushion at each end, and a 40 mm rod.
No to holding. The air cushions only decelerate motion near the end caps; they do not function as a brake. If you need to hold a vertical load against gravity, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take sensors unless you buy the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
