The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X140 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 140mm 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.
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 covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life. A G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread accommodate the high airflow required for rapid cycling.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C for high-temperature environments.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the 10053 N push force required to actuate heavy stamping dies and hold automotive body panels during forming operations.
Handles the robust stroke and rigidity needed to separate and feed empty pallets in high-throughput distribution centres.
Secures large cast iron components during machining cycles, utilising its tie-rod construction to maintain stability under high clamping stress.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller Ø125 generates 6136 N push, while the larger Ø200 provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this model when the 10053 N rating fits your load. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. To add position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant.
Quick checklist
The SGC160X140 has a G3/4 port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must purchase the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
