Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80S 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 SGCD160X80S
Delivering 9425 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder features a piston rod exiting both covers. The symmetric rod-side area completely eliminates the force differential found in single-rod units. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the G3/4 port handles the required air volume.
With a safe working load of roughly 5655 N, it can vertically lift about 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for end-of-stroke sensing. Standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for high-temperature environments.

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 SGCD160X80S Is Used
Twin-Tool Transfer
Drives two synchronized clamps or grippers from opposite rod ends to move parts simultaneously across a machining cell.
Balanced Lift Station
Lifts heavy jigs evenly using both rod ends to prevent mechanical twisting and maintain precise vertical alignment.
Symmetric Divertor
Pushes products from the center of a belt to either side using equal force for balanced high-speed sorting.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X80S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore provides 9425 N each way, sitting between the 125 mm option (5734 N) and the 200 mm model (15079 N). Choose a double-rod configuration when your application demands anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling driven from both ends, or a symmetric load path. The ISO 15552 mounting interface allows drop-in compatibility with standard FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 fixtures. Because this is an -S SKU, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For any stroke length of 500 mm or more, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load damage to the rod seals.
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 SGCD160X80S FAQ
Because the rod passes through both covers, 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. It includes a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end and uses a G3/4 port.
No, a standard double-rod cylinder will drift without live air, as the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. To maintain a vertical load, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
