About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder brings serious thrust to heavy industrial automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high structural rigidity under high-pressure operation. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures, simplifying machine upgrades and spare part replacement.
A heterogeneous two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, 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. The unit features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to smooth out stroke endings.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120 Is Used
Stamping Press Feeders
Pushes heavy coil stock into mechanical presses with 10053 N of force, utilizing the 120 mm stroke for rapid material indexing.
Pallet Squaring Stations
Applies lateral pressure to align heavy wooden pallets prior to stretch wrapping, handling loads safely within the 512 kg vertical lift equivalent.
Injection Mold Clamping
Acts as a secondary heavy-duty clamp on large injection molding machines, relying on the rigid four tie-rod construction to resist deflection.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Choose this model when your application requires roughly 6032 N of actual working load at 0.5 MPa. Since this 120 mm stroke falls well under the 500 mm side-load threshold, standard mounting is highly forgiving, though you should always guide the rod end to prevent premature seal wear.
This base SKU arrives without a magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing; if your sequence control requires end-of-stroke confirmation, step up to an SGC160X120-S variant. Furthermore, a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and lose its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The integrated air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not function as a braking lock, so incorporate an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock for suspended loads.
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 SGC160X120 FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. The thrust output is 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You must select the SGC160X120-S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
