Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 120mm 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 SGC160X120S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position sensing. It features a G3/4 port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the rod smoothly. Plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components firmly without hydraulic fluid.
Pallet Stopping Gate
Acts as a robust stopper on high-mass conveyor lines, absorbing the impact of loaded pallets via its 50 mm adjustable air cushions.
Material Lift Lowering
Lowers stacked metal blanks weighing up to 512 kg in a vertical lift setup, maintaining a safe 2:1 operational margin at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the SGC125 (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) and the SGC200 (15708 N push @0.5 MPa), making it the right choice when the smaller bore lacks thrust but the larger is physically excessive. The 120 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load bending risks. Because the -S suffix denotes a magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve centers; the air cushions only slow the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain fixed during a pressure drop, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X120S FAQ
The SGC160X120S delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard large-bore fixtures. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed switches.
