Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125SFTC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125SFTC 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 SGC160X125SFTC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing high rigidity while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because the SKU includes the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG 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 default TPU seal handles -20 to +70 C, while the FTC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 interface for easy fixture integration.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125SFTC Is Used
Press Tool Ejection
Provides the 10053 N push force needed to eject stamped metal parts from heavy press dies, using the FTC trunnion to handle pivoting deflection.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force stop gate on heavy pallet conveyors, lifting roughly 512 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 margin when routing goods.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures mid-scale injection molding fixtures where the 50 mm adjustable cushion softens the impact of 14074 N thrust at 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125SFTC the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the Ø125 (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) and Ø200 (15708 N push @0.5 MPa) sizes, giving you a clear upgrade path if your thrust requirements shift. The included FTC trunnion mount allows pivoting center-line mounting, and the -S magnet supports electronic or reed switches for end-position confirmation.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must be held in place during an air failure, 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 SGC160X125SFTC FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It delivers 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.
No, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is exhausted or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke and does not function as a locking brake. To maintain position, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
