Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD200X160
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD200X160 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 160mm 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 SGCD200X160
Delivering 15079 N of thrust each way at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod piston to guarantee identical push and pull forces. The dual exit rods provide a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, while the four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers. It handles about 9047 N of safe working load, which is enough to vertically lift roughly 769 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Air enters through a G3/4 port to drive the 40 mm rod at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. The standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for high-heat environments. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG or DMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø200mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 15080 N | 15080 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 21111 N | 21111 N |

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD200X160 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Press
Uses both extending rods to drive opposing forming tools with identical 15079 N force, ensuring balanced pressure on heavy metal stamping parts.
Symmetric Divertor
Employs the rear rod as a mechanical cam to trigger a secondary sorting gate, keeping the load path perfectly centered on the belt line.
Anti-Twist Lift Station
Lifts roughly 769 kg of vertical payload by relying on the dual rods to prevent rotational drift during heavy-duty material elevation.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD200X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this double-acting actuator, note the 160 mm bore delivers 15079 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, the 125 mm bore provides 5734 N each way; stepping up to the 250 mm bore yields 23562 N. A twin-rod design is the right call when you need anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or a rear rod to drive a secondary tool. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. For any stroke length over 500 mm, always use external guide rails to prevent side-load binding. Remember this non-magnetic model cannot host position 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 SGCD200X160 FAQ
Because the rod exits both ends, force is equal in both directions. It generates 15079 N at 0.5 MPa and 21110 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 3075 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
No, the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold loads. Also, this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot take sensors unless you specify the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG switches.
