Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000STC 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 SGC160X1000STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore actuator utilizes a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface to drop directly into existing heavy-duty fixtures. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle substantial thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended operational life. The integrated -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise end-position detection.
With a 1000 mm stroke and a G3/4 air port, it generates 14074 N at 0.7 MPa. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The default TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000STC Is Used
Automated Pallet Transfer
Pushes heavy loaded pallets along a 1000 mm conveyor line, utilizing the 10053 N thrust and TC trunnion mount to accommodate structural flex during transit.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises 500 kg components between machinery tiers, relying on the 160 mm bore and integrated -S magnet for reliable upper and lower limit confirmation.
Large Press Ejection
Ejects formed metal parts from a hydraulic press over a long 1000 mm span, where the steel tie-rod construction maintains barrel integrity under high cyclic stress.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1000STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify if the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, or step up to the 200 mm bore providing 15708 N. If your application requires less force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. Because this model features a 1000 mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads during long extensions. The included TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 dimensions for straightforward installation.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SGC160X1000STC FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and does not function as a brake. Because the piston drifts without air pressure, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
