Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1200mm 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 SGC160X1200
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for large-bore automation tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended service life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port and a Ø40 mm hard-chrome piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200 Is Used
Automated Pallet Transfer
Provides the long 1200 mm reach and 10053 N thrust needed to push heavy pallets between parallel conveyor lines in distribution centers.
Press Ejection System
Uses the full 1200 mm stroke to extract large molded parts from deep industrial presses, relying on the rigid tie-rod frame to resist deflection.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises platforms carrying components up to 512 kg, requiring external guidance to manage the side-load risks of the extended 1200 mm rod.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 1200 mm stroke model, verify if the neighbouring Ø125 bore (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) is sufficient, or step up to the Ø200 bore (15708 N push @0.5 MPa) for heavier loads. If your application requires position feedback, select the -S magnet variant instead of this base SKU to enable magnetic sensors.
At a 1200 mm extension, the Ø40 mm rod is highly susceptible to side-load bending; always use an external guide or stopper to support the load and prevent rod damage. Furthermore, this cylinder will drift and drop its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 SGC160X1200 FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, fitting standard LB, FA, and TC accessories. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
