Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1050
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1050 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1050mm 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 SGC160X1050
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles long 1050 mm strokes with a 160 mm bore. 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 extended lifespan. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the series standard for this bore size.
Because the 1050 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, providing external guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads is essential. 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. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1050 Is Used
Automated Pallet Lifting
Raises heavy pallets in automated storage systems, utilizing the 10053 N push force to elevate roughly 512 kg loads over a 1050 mm vertical travel distance.
Heavy Press Ejection
Ejects large formed metal parts from hydraulic presses, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod construction to withstand high impact forces during retraction.
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Transfers automotive components between workstations over a 1050 mm gap, requiring external guide supports to prevent rod deflection under lateral stress.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1050 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your fixture requires position feedback, select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, as this base SKU cannot support them. Furthermore, a plain SGC cylinder will drift and lose its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends rather than locking it. For secure vertical holding, integrate 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 SGC160X1050 FAQ
The 160 mm bore provides 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 uses a G3/4 air port and features a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. Additionally, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
