Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1090
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1090 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1090mm 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 SGC160X1090
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 aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life.
Because this 1090 mm stroke SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread supply the volume and mechanical strength required for a 160 mm bore.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1090 Is Used
Automotive Press Transfer
Moves heavy stamped body panels across a 1090 mm gap between press stations, utilizing the 10053 N push force to maintain positive positioning.
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Indexes empty pallets into a high-speed packaging line, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to absorb the impact of shifting loads without barrel distortion.
Heavy Gate Actuation
Opens and closes large industrial bulkhead doors on processing equipment, where the 160 mm bore and G3/4 port deliver rapid actuation despite high friction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1090 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model hits a solid middle ground for medium-to-heavy machinery. Because the stroke is 1090 mm, you must use an external guide or stopper to prevent rod bending and side-load damage during extension.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of stroke and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. If your application requires magnetic sensing, select the -S variant instead of this base SKU.
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 SGC160X1090 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 features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 piston rod, and adjustable air cushions of 50 mm at both ends.
No, the standard double-acting design will drift downward if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The end-of-stroke cushions only decelerate the piston and do not act as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend a load safely.
