Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125TC 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 SGC160X125TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-acting cylinder handles heavy industrial loads with ease. The Ø160 mm bore operates on a G3/4 air port, while the four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for maximum structural rigidity under high thrust. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long seal life.
Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. 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. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125TC Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy-duty press tools to seat large bearings in automotive axle manufacturing lines, utilizing the 10053 N thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust high-force stop gate in distribution centers, securely halting loaded pallets via the TC trunnion pivot mount.
Injection Mold Clamp
Provides reliable clamping pressure for heavy plastic injection molding machines, relying on the rigid four tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X125TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, consider the adjacent SGC options: the smaller Ø125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø200 bore offers 15708 N if your application demands substantially more power. The included TC trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting loads, but ensure your structural pivots can handle the 10053 N output.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the rod near the stroke ends and do not act as a locking brake. For suspended or vertical loads, integrate 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 SGC160X125TC 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need to specify the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
