Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 900mm 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 SGCD160X900
Delivering 9425 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod piston to balance your load path perfectly. The G3/4 air port feeds a 40 mm rod exiting both covers, yielding a practical safe working load of about 5655 N, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal ensures symmetrical performance. This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position sensors; add the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

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 SGCD160X900 Is Used
Dual-Station Diverting
Simultaneously pushes two diverter gates on parallel conveyor lines using both rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized material routing.
Balanced Lift Platform
Raises and lowers a heavy 480 kg vertical lift table with equal force both ways, preventing the asymmetric twisting common to single-rod actuators.
Twin-Spindle Forming
Drives two opposing forming tools from a single piston, keeping pressure identical on both sides of a metal workpiece during the stamping cycle.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting unit, the neighbouring 125 mm bore provides 5734 N each way, whereas stepping up to the 250 mm bore yields 23562 N. Choose this 160 mm model when you need 9425 N of symmetric force for anti-rotation guidance, driving twin tooling simultaneously, or mounting a sensor cam on the back rod. It supports FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 mounts. Because the 900 mm stroke is long, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts without live air; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
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 SGCD160X900 FAQ
This double-acting double-rod cylinder outputs 9425 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa. Because the 40 mm rod exits both ends, this pull-side thrust is identical in both directions. The theoretical maximum is 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 port and adjustable 50 mm cushions at each end.
No, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing. The double-rod design still allows you to mount a mechanical cam on the rear rod for external limit switches.
