About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100SH
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to maximize service life. Because it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesign.
This double-acting single-rod unit carries an S designation for its built-in piston magnet, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. The H suffix indicates a Viton (FKM) seal upgrade, extending the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C for high-heat environments. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a 40 mm piston rod, a G3/4 air port, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100SH Is Used
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides the 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa needed to secure heavy injection mold halves, with the Viton seal surviving elevated ambient heat near press platens.
Palletized Load Pushing
Exerts enough force to push dense palletized goods onto accumulation conveyors, utilizing the built-in magnet for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Heavy Stamping Ejection
Ejects thick metal stampings from press beds, using the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb the 14074 N peak impact force generated at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbors: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Choose this 160 mm option when you need approximately 10 kN of thrust. Since this SKU includes the S magnet, you can directly attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If your process requires the piston to stay put after a loss of air pressure or when a valve is centered, note that the standard design will drift; the end-of-stroke cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake. For secure load holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 100 mm stroke, side-load stress is minimal, but always guide the rod to prevent premature seal wear.
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 SGC160X100SH FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port, a 40 mm rod with an M36x2.0 thread, and operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of stroke and do not function as a locking brake. To maintain a vertical load position, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
