Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm 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 SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity under large-bore thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The Ø160 mm bore features a 40 mm piston rod, a G3/4 air port, and an M36x2.0 rod-end thread. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Standard TPU seals support temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100 Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Ejects heavy formed parts from stamping presses using its 10053 N push force, absorbing end-of-stroke impact with the 50 mm adjustable air cushion.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate on high-mass conveyor lines, holding back loaded pallets during robotic loading and unloading cycles.
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides auxiliary clamping pressure on large injection molding fixtures, utilizing the rigid four-tie-rod construction to resist deflection.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to the Ø125 bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while the larger Ø200 bore increases it to 15708 N. Because this 100 mm stroke model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensors; choose an SGC160X100-S variant if position feedback is required.
Air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not function as a brake. If gravity loads must be prevented from drifting when air is lost or valves are centered, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100 FAQ
The SGC160X100 generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard large-bore fixtures like FA flanges or CB clevises. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
