Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1080
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1080 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1080mm 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 SGC160X1080
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. A G3/4 port supplies air to the 40 mm piston rod, driving the 1080 mm stroke at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1080 Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line
Pushes heavy loaded pallets between roller conveyor sections using its 10053 N thrust and 1080 mm reach.
Automated Warehousing
Acts as a main pusher arm to index large storage totes into automated retrieval lanes.
Press Ejection System
Ejects finished metal parts from large stamping presses, relying on the rigid tie-rod build to absorb shock.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1080 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base model cannot host magnetic sensors. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, but they do not function as a brake; if air pressure drops, the piston will drift. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop or air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Because the 1080 mm stroke is exceptionally long, the extended 40 mm rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide or linear rail to support the load and prevent rod deflection during full extension.
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 SGC160X1080 FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need to order the -S variant for position sensing, or use external mechanical limit switches.
