Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1000mm 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 SGC160X1000
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, 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 means it lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This specific SKU features a 1000 mm stroke, a Ø40 mm piston rod, and a G3/4 air port. Because it lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000 Is Used
Automated Pallet Transfer
Drives heavy pallets along a 1-meter accumulation conveyor line, utilizing the 10053 N push force to overcome friction and move full unit loads efficiently.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises bulk material containers using the 512 kg safe vertical lift capacity, requiring external linear guides to manage the 1000 mm stroke without rod deflection.
Press Ejection System
Ejects finished metal parts from a large hydraulic press, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to absorb sudden impact loads during the ejection cycle.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, consider the 125 mm option (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N push @0.5 MPa) if your application demands greater thrust. This model provides a 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
With a 1000 mm stroke, you must account for rod-bending and side loads; use an external guide to support the rod end and prevent premature seal wear. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered—the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
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 SGC160X1000 FAQ
The SGC160X1000 delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant (SGC160X1000-S) to enable magnetic position sensing. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface.
