Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200STC
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.

About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200STC
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.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200STC Is Used
Automotive Body Welding
Indexes heavy welding fixtures along a 1200 mm axis, utilizing the 10053 N push force to move chassis components securely between robotic stations.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanism
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.
Large Press Loading
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.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1200STC the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SGC160X1200STC FAQ
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.
