The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200STC 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore class. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position detection.
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 two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for long service life, and the Viton H seal option extends operating temperatures up to 150 C. The TC trunnion mount utilizes standard ISO 15552 interface dimensions, ensuring broad fixture compatibility.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Indexes heavy welding fixtures along a 1200 mm axis, utilizing the 10053 N push force to move chassis components securely between robotic stations.
Employs the long stroke to extract and feed empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, handling loads up to 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Feeds heavy sheet metal blanks into hydraulic presses, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction and TC trunnion mount to maintain alignment under high thrust.
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, note the adjacent options in the SGC range: the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter jobs, while the 200 mm bore steps up to 15708 N for heavier demands. Because this unit features a 1200 mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads during long extensions. The TC trunnion mounting suits pivoting articulations, and the included -S magnet enables electronic position sensing. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held.
Quick checklist
This 160 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 of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. It uses a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing the TC trunnion and other standard accessories to drop in seamlessly.
