Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800S 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 SGCD160X800S
Delivering 9425 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this AirTAC double-rod ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a 160 mm bore and an 800 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both covers, the effective area is identical on extension and retraction. The G3/4 air port feeds the chamber, while four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for structural rigidity. An integrated piston magnet (-S) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to track position.
With 9425 N available each way, this actuator handles a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, which translates to lifting about 480 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The twin-rod layout creates a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, making it ideal for driving two tools simultaneously or mounting a rear sensor cam. Standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 150 C. Remember that the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not hold the load if air pressure drops.

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800S Is Used
Dual-Station Conveyor Divert
Uses the rod extending from both covers to push diverter arms on parallel conveyor lanes simultaneously, keeping the load path perfectly symmetric.
Balanced Vertical Lift
Lifts approximately 480 kg of material using the equal pull and push forces, relying on the twin rods to prevent torsional twist during elevation.
Twin-Tool Machining Slide
Mounts a cutting tool on the front rod and a sensor cam on the rear rod, utilizing the 9425 N equal force for consistent machining strokes.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X800S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod family, the neighbouring 125 mm bore provides 5734 N each way at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore offers 15079 N. Choose the 160 mm bore when your application requires roughly 9425 N of symmetric force. The double-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, a rod out each end to drive twin tooling, or a symmetric load path. Available mountings include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S suffix indicates the built-in magnet required for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because this unit has an 800 mm stroke, you must provide external guide support to prevent rod bending and manage side loads over that long travel distance.
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 SGCD160X800S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air. The 50 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends; they do not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding.
