The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000H 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is engineered for demanding thermal environments. The SGC160X1000H features a high-temperature Viton (FKM) seal option, extending the operating range from -20 to +150 C. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore class.
Because it lacks the -S magnet suffix, this specific SKU cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For practical sizing, plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1000 mm stroke moves at 30-500 mm/s, and the adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the payload smoothly.

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.
Pushes heavy mold platens over the 1000 mm travel using 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with Viton seals surviving ambient heat radiating from the mold base.
Transfers stamped metal panels into hot forming presses where 0-150 C Viton H seals prevent degradation near infrared pre-heating ovens.
Actuates a heavy diverter gate over a 1 meter span to route cast components, relying on the rigid four tie-rod build to withstand repeated 9425 N retraction shocks.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your application requires position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant instead of this SKU, as a plain cylinder cannot host reed or solid-state switches. Furthermore, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not function as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Because this model features a 1000 mm stroke, the extended 40 mm carbon steel rod is susceptible to bending under lateral stress. Always use an external guide or linear rail to support the load and prevent side-loading damage to the front cover packing.
Quick checklist
The 160 mm bore generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 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 port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix and therefore has no internal magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need to order the -S variant for magnetic sensing, though you can still mount external mechanical or proximity switches to the ISO 15552 tie-rod barrel.
