The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD200X500S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 500mm 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.
Delivering 15079 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-rod cylinder eliminates the area differential found in single-rod units. The twin-rod layout provides a symmetric load path that resists torsional twist, while the rear extension can drive a secondary mechanism or carry a sensor cam. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, and the unit drops into existing fixtures dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position detection. The G3/4 air port feeds the 40 mm rod, yielding a safe working load of roughly 9047 N or a vertical lift capacity of about 769 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for demanding thermal environments.

| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 15080 N | 15080 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 21111 N | 21111 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 3204 kgf | |
Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Drives two synchronized gripping tools from opposite rod ends to shuttle heavy parts between machining centers.
Lifts and lowers a 769 kg platen using equal force both ways, ensuring smooth vertical travel without drift.
Uses the dual-rod torsional resistance to push heavy pallets sideways on a high-speed packaging line.
This 200 mm bore sits between the 160 mm option (9425 N equal force) and the 250 mm model (23562 N), giving you a robust mid-range choice. A double-rod design 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 brackets. The -S suffix confirms the internal magnet is present for switch sensing. Because the 500 mm stroke is substantial, always provide external guide rails to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads.
Quick checklist
Force is equal in both directions at 15079 N at 0.5 MPa and 21110 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 3075 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
No, a plain cylinder drifts without live air, as the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
