About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150SN
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 160 mm bore cylinder is engineered for heavy automation. The SGC160X150SN features a robust tie-rod design where four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high structural rigidity under large-bore thrust. It integrates a two-way piston seal that maintains an internal oil reservoir for long operational life, and uses a G3/4 air port.
Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position sensing. This specific SKU includes the NBR (-N) seal option, making it suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 C. 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.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150SN Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearing housings into automotive transmission casings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components precisely without hydraulic fluid leaks.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force pneumatic stop gate on heavy-duty roller conveyors, securely halting loaded 500 kg pallets before the wrapping station.
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides auxiliary side-core retraction on large plastic injection molds, depending on the tie-rod rigidity to resist deflection during high-pressure molding cycles.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150SN the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, consider the adjacent SGC options to match your exact load. If 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, the smaller 125 mm bore provides 6136 N; if more force is needed, the 200 mm bore steps up to 15708 N. This 150 mm stroke model operates within the 30-500 mm/s speed range and carries a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection. Note that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushion only slows the piston near stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain held during an air loss event, incorporate 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 SGC160X150SN FAQ
The 160 mm bore generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and features a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into standard large-bore fixtures using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets. The built-in magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches along the barrel.
