Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 150mm 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 SGC160X150
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, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended lifespan. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread are sized specifically for the 160 mm bore.
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 seal handles -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components reliably without hydraulic fluid.
Pallet Stopping Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty pneumatic stop gate on high-mass conveyor lines, absorbing the impact of loaded pallets via its adjustable cushions.
Material Forming Press
Provides consistent downward clamping pressure for bending thick metal plates, taking advantage of the 9425 N pull force for retraction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø125 model drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while stepping up to the Ø200 bore raises it to 15708 N. For this 150 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets that match the ISO 15552 interface. Since this specific configuration has no -S magnet, you must choose an external mechanical limit switch if position detection is required.
Remember that the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not act as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load safely when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
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 SGC160X150 FAQ
The 160 mm bore provides a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches. You would need the -S variant for internal magnetic sensing, or use external mechanical switches. The unit features a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface and a rigid four-tie-rod construction for high-thrust applications.
