Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900S 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 SGCD160X900S
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 provide perfectly symmetric output force. The dual rods exit both covers simultaneously, which prevents torsional twist and allows you to mount a sensor cam or secondary tool on the back end. Its four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely, and the G3/4 port handles high flow to maintain smooth 30-500 mm/s speeds.
With a 900 mm stroke, this -S variant includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The equal pull-side area yields a safe working load of about 5655 N, capable of vertically lifting roughly 480 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, you can specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU.

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 SGCD160X900S Is Used
Dual-End Transfer Pusher
Uses the rear rod extension to push a parallel conveyor lane simultaneously while the front rod cycles a 900 mm transfer arm.
Anti-Twist Machining Clamp
Clamps heavy castings on a milling line where the twin-rod construction prevents rotational play during high-speed cutting.
Symmetric Lift Platform
Drives a 900 mm vertical lifting fixture where the equal 9425 N bidirectional force ensures stable raising and lowering without load shift.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD160X900S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-rod unit, consider the 125 mm bore if your application only requires 5734 N each way, or step up to the 250 mm bore for 23562 N of symmetric force. The SGCD series is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, twin tooling operation, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this model has a 900 mm stroke, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending and manage side loads. The -S suffix ensures compatibility with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed sensors.
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 SGCD160X900S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways using the pull-side area. It delivers 9425 N at 0.5 MPa and 13194 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with a theoretical max of 1922 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No, a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To hold a load securely, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
