The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X100SN 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks with ease. 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 for long service life. The Ø160 mm bore utilizes a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread.
Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. The -N designation specifies an NBR seal, suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 C. Plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Provides the 10053 N push force required to hold heavy sheet metal panels firmly in place during high-speed stamping operations.
Actuates heavy guide gates on automated palletizing lines, using its 512 kg vertical lift capacity to manage loaded material flows.
Delivers robust pull force with its M36x2.0 rod to extract large molded plastic components from hot industrial press environments.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, the smaller Ø125 SGC yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø250 SGC provides 24543 N. This model hits a solid middle ground for presses and heavy clamping. The 100 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load bending concerns seen in longer 500 mm+ travels.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends rather than locking it. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The Ø160 mm bore features a G3/4 air port. 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 of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures.
