About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X130STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the structural rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread ensure high flow and robust mechanical connections for demanding cycles.
For practical sizing, 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. The internal two-way piston seal maintains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for seamless end-of-stroke detection.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X130STC Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy-duty press tools to seat large bearings into automotive housings, utilizing the 14074 N push force available at 0.7 MPa to overcome high insertion resistance.
Pallet Lift Station
Raises loaded shipping pallets weighing up to 512 kg vertically within distribution hubs, operating safely within the computed 2:1 vertical lift margin at 0.5 MPa.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures heavy mold halves in plastic fabrication lines, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod construction to maintain alignment under high clamping loads.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X130STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare its 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller Ø125 bore (6136 N) or the larger Ø200 bore (15708 N) to ensure you have the exact thrust required. The integrated TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures and matching accessories. For this 130 mm stroke, standard side-load limits apply, but always ensure rigid guidance for any application approaching or exceeding 500 mm to prevent rod bending.
Remember that a standard pneumatic cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end to prevent impact damage. If your application requires absolute position holding on air loss, you must add 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 SGC160X130STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore cylinder provides 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, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at pressures from 0.15-1.0 MPa, speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
Yes, the TC trunnion mount and all hardware are dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it fits standard large-bore fixtures. Additionally, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly onto the cylinder barrel for position detection.
