The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X150SN 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 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.

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 heavy bearing housings into automotive transmission casings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components precisely without hydraulic fluid leaks.
Acts as a high-force pneumatic stop gate on heavy-duty roller conveyors, securely halting loaded 500 kg pallets before the wrapping station.
Provides auxiliary side-core retraction on large plastic injection molds, depending on the tie-rod rigidity to resist deflection during high-pressure molding cycles.
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
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.
