Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120TC 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 SGC160X120TC
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 aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. 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 Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread, with a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. The TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore fixture designs.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120TC Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearings into automotive transmission housings using the full 10053 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pivoting stop gate on high-mass conveyor lines, utilizing the TC trunnion mount to absorb side loads.
Heavy Carton Forming
Folds and secures large industrial packaging cartons, relying on the 50 mm adjustable air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X120TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare your actual load against the 10053 N push and 9425 N pull ratings at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the smaller Ø125 bore offers 6136 N of push, while stepping up to the Ø200 bore provides 15708 N for heavier demands. The integrated TC trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting loads, but remember that a standard cylinder will drift and cannot hold a vertical load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the end cushions only decelerate the stroke and do not act as a brake. For secure load holding, add 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 SGC160X120TC FAQ
This Ø160 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, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing, though you can still utilize the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface and TC trunnion accessory for mechanical integration.
