Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1550SH
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1550SH is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 1550mm 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 SGC160X1550SH
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is engineered for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle the high air volumes required for large-bore thrust.
Because the 1550 mm stroke exceeds the 1500 mm standard maximum, this is a made-to-order unit requiring external guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads. The -H designation indicates a Viton (FKM) seal, raising the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C for hot environments. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1550SH Is Used
Hot-Stamping Press Ejection
Pushes heavy stamped metal parts out of a 150 C heated die using the Viton H seal, applying 10053 N of force to clear the tooling safely.
High-Bay Palletizer Arm
Actuates a 1550 mm reach arm to position pallets on high shelving, requiring external guides to manage the extended rod length and 512 kg dynamic lift load.
Foundry Mold Transfer
Shifts heavy resin-bonded sand molds along a conveyor in a high-temperature zone, utilizing the 0-150 C Viton packing to maintain sealing integrity.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X1550SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your application drops below 6000 N, step down to the 125; if it exceeds 14000 N, move up to the 200. The included -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. For any stroke over 500 mm, and especially this 1550 mm non-standard length, you must use an external guide to absorb lateral forces and prevent rod bending. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. Install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held in place.
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 SGC160X1550SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the bore uses a G3/4 port.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops into standard large-bore fixtures. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches. The tie-rod build adds rigidity, but note the 1550 mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length requiring external rod support.
