Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X600
The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X600 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 600mm 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 SGCD250X600
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 output force. It handles a safe working load of roughly 14137 N, which translates to lifting about 1201 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The G1 air port feeds the 250 mm bore, while four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel for high structural rigidity.
Because a shaft exits both covers, you get a symmetric load path that prevents torsional twist and allows driving two tools simultaneously. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept position sensors; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that NBR seals are standard here, as TPU is unavailable on this bore size, though a Viton H upgrade extends operating temps to 150 C.

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 SGCD250X600 Is Used
Twin-Spindle Press
Drives two opposing forming tools simultaneously via both extending rods, ensuring perfectly balanced high-tonnage clamping without rotational drift.
Symmetric Divertor
Moves a heavy transfer carriage from the rear shaft while the front shaft pushes an identical payload, keeping the load path centered and preventing guide binding.
Heavy Pallet Lift
Raises 1201 kg platforms vertically using the equal pull force, relying on external linear bearings to handle the 600 mm stroke side loads safely.
Is the Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD250X600 the Right Cylinder?
As the largest bore in the range, the 250 mm sits at the high edge, dwarfing the 200 mm option which provides 15079 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. Choose this double-rod architecture when your mechanism requires strict anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or a rear shaft to mount a sensor cam. Mounting hardware includes FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because the stroke is 600 mm, you must use external guide rails to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads. Remember that air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps; integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the system must hold a load statically without live air pressure.
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 SGCD250X600 FAQ
The G1 port feeds a 250 mm bore that generates 23562 N at 0.5 MPa and 32986 N at 0.7 MPa. Because it is a double-rod design, this force is identical in both directions. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 4805 kgf.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet and cannot accept sensing switches. You must select the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
