About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore actuator utilizes a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface to drop directly into standardized large-bore fixtures. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, ensuring high rigidity under heavy thrust, while a heterogeneous two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 piston rod thread are sized specifically for the 160 mm bore.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position sensing. Plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C high-temperature environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125S Is Used
Automotive Press Stamping
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to actuate heavy lower dies and clamp large automotive body panels within high-tonnage stamping presses.
Palletizer Clamp Arms
Drives heavy mechanical clamp arms to secure and transfer fully loaded pallets, utilizing the 125 mm stroke to safely grip goods for robotic packaging lines.
Injection Mold Extraction
Exerts high pull force to extract large molded plastic components from deep injection tooling, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to resist side-loading.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, verify your actual load requirements against the 10053 N push and 9425 N pull ratings at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands less force, the smaller 125 mm SGC bore provides 6136 N of push; for heavier loads, stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. The included -S magnet allows seamless integration of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke limits to prevent end-cap impact; they do not function as a brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain fixed during air loss, 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 SGC160X125S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 14074 N and pull to 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly onto the cylinder body. Additionally, its ISO 15552 mounting interface means it is dimensionally interchangeable with other standard large-bore cylinders, simplifying fixture design and spare parts replacement.
