Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125STC 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 SGC160X125STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless fixture integration. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle heavy thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread equip this 160 mm bore unit for substantial airflow and robust mechanical connections.
Because the code includes an S, this variant carries a built-in piston magnet for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. 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 TC trunnion mounting hardware allows pivoting centerline support, and the standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125STC Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy-duty mechanical press dies requiring 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat large industrial bearings.
Pallet Handling Gate
Actuates a pivoting TC-mounted conveyor lane diverter that redirects loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg.
Injection Mold Clamp
Secures heavy injection molding tooling using the rigid four-tie-rod construction to withstand high cyclic thrust.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, verify your actual load against the 10053 N push rating at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the smaller 125 mm SGC bore provides 6136 N; if you need substantially more power, stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. The included TC trunnion mount suits pivoting loads, but remember that a standard cylinder cannot hold a load in place if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift and the end cushions only decelerate motion near stroke limits. For suspended or vertical loads that must resist gravity during air loss, incorporate 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 SGC160X125STC FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and generates 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the S designation means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It also uses a true ISO 15552 mounting interface, so standard TC trunnion, foot, flange, and clevis accessories fit perfectly.
