Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 125mm 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 SGC160X125
Generating 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the 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.
This double-acting single-rod unit features a 160 mm bore, a 125 mm stroke, and a G3/4 air port. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and uses 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.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilising its 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust physical stop for loaded pallets up to 500 kg on high-speed conveyor lines, absorbing impact via the 50 mm air cushion.
Plastic Mould Clamp
Secures injection moulding tooling halves during low-pressure close sequences, benefiting from the rigid four tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Choose this SGC160X125 when your application demands roughly 6032 N of actual working load at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 125 mm, side-load stress is minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets to maintain alignment.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the end cushions only slow the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 SGC160X125 FAQ
The SGC160X125 has a G3/4 air port. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. Mechanically, it uses a standard ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops into the same large-bore fixtures and accessories as any ISO 15552 cylinder.
