Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X100S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X100S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 100mm stroke, G1 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 SGCD250X100S
Delivering 23562 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod piston to equalize push and pull areas. The symmetric load path prevents rod twisting under heavy offset loads, while the rear rod extension can drive a secondary mechanism or mount a sensor cam. With a safe working load around 14137 N, it can vertically lift roughly 1201 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. This 250 mm bore variant features a G1 air port, a 60 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, and a 50 mm piston rod. Because TPU is unavailable at this diameter, the standard seals are NBR, though a Viton H option extends operating temperatures from 0 to 150 C. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position detection.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø250mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 23562 N | 23562 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 32987 N | 32987 N |

Where the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X100S Is Used
Twin-Side Pressing Station
Simultaneously forms or clamps two separate panels from a single actuator using both rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized timing without a mechanical linkage.
Heavy Vertical Lift
Raises a 1200 kg platen with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa, relying on the equal pull-side area to maintain consistent lifting force throughout the stroke.
Anti-Twist Indexing Gate
Shifts a massive 250 mm bore transfer gate where asymmetric drag would twist a single rod, using the dual-rod symmetry to keep the carriage true.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X100S the Right Cylinder?
This 250 mm bore sits at the top edge of the SGCD range, offering 23562 N each way at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to the 200 mm bore drops the equal-both-ways force to 15079 N. Choose the double-rod architecture when an application demands anti-rotation stability, twin tooling driven from one piston, or a symmetric load path. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S suffix indicates the piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For any stroke exceeding 500 mm, guide the load externally to prevent side-load wear on 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 SGCD250X100S FAQ
Because the rod passes through both covers, force is equal in both directions: 23562 N at 0.5 MPa, 32986 N at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 4805 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.
No, a standard cylinder drifts without live air, as the 60 mm adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. To maintain a vertical position safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
