Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1150SN
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1150SN is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1150mm 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 SGC160X1150SN
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles demanding large-bore tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. Because the bore is 160 mm, the air port is G3/4 and the rod thread is M36x2.0. The SN suffix means it carries a piston magnet for position sensing and uses NBR seals.
For real work, plan for roughly 6032 N of usable load, which lifts about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication. CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches mount directly to the body, while the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures it drops into existing large-bore fixtures without custom brackets.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1150SN Is Used
Pallet Transfer Reject
Pushes heavy wood pallets off a high-speed sorting line using 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Automated Warehouse Pusher
Actuates a 1150 mm stroke to index large cartons into storage lanes without intermediate stops.
Press Ejection Arm
Cycles stamped metal parts out of a hydraulic press, relying on the 50 mm adjustable cushions to absorb kinetic energy.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1150SN the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this 160 mm bore against adjacent options ensures the right fit: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If air pressure drops or the valve centers, the piston drifts because the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end points rather than locking the load. For vertical safety, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
With a 1150 mm stroke, lateral side loads can bend the 40 mm rod; external guide rails must support the load to prevent binding. The NBR seals suit standard operating temperatures of -20 to +70 C, and the built-in magnet enables electronic or reed sensors.
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 SGC160X1150SN FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and generates 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not function as a locking brake. To hold a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
