Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X155S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X155S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 155mm 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 SGC160X155S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder brings massive thrust to large-scale pneumatic setups. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long service life. Because it adheres to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom bracketry.
Equipped with a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod, the unit travels a 155 mm stroke at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s. The trailing -S denotes an integrated piston magnet, enabling seamless position tracking with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X155S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy-duty bearings into automotive transmission housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components precisely without hydraulic fluid leaks.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force blocking mechanism in conveyor merging zones, halting loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg before they enter the wrapping station.
Injection Mold Clamp
Secures heavy mold halves during low-pressure plastic injection cycles, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain alignment under fluctuating loads.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X155S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare your actual load against the 10053 N push rating at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N; if your application demands more power, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. Since this 155 mm stroke falls below the 500 mm threshold, severe rod-bending side loads are less of a concern, but proper load alignment remains essential.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely during an air failure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet on this specific SKU allows for direct sensor mounting, whereas non-S variants cannot accept reed or electronic switches.
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 SGC160X155S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod. It 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.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so standard large-bore accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions fit perfectly. Additionally, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
