The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150S 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long service life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The 160 mm bore utilises a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise position detection. Standard TPU seals support a -20 to +70 C operating range, though Viton H options can extend this to 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.
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings using its 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to seat components reliably.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop in high-throughput conveyor lines, absorbing kinetic impact with its 50 mm adjustable cushion.
Pushes large fabricated parts out of heavy industrial moulds, utilising the 160 mm bore capacity for reliable ejection.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare your actual load against its 10053 N push and 9425 N pull capabilities at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the smaller SGC125 bore provides 6136 N of push; for heavier demands, the SGC200 steps up to 15708 N. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends rather than locking it. For suspended loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
This 150 mm stroke model falls well below the 500 mm side-load risk threshold, but you should still align the load properly to prevent rod bending. The included magnet enables direct sensor mounting, and the unit supports LB foot, FA flange, CA clevis, and TC trunnion ISO 15552 mounting interfaces for versatile installation.
Quick checklist
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, the push increases to 14074 N and the pull to 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly to the barrel. Furthermore, the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops into existing large-bore fixtures and accepts standard LB, FA, CA, and TC mounting accessories.
