Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 160mm 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 SGC160X160
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder handles heavy industrial loads with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the high rigidity needed for large-bore thrust. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir, ensuring long operational life.
Built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares standard accessory dimensions. 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. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore specifications. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160 Is Used
Press Ejection
Supplies the 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa required to eject formed metal parts from heavy stamping presses.
Pallet Diversion
Uses the 160 mm stroke to push heavy pallets onto secondary packaging lines, absorbing end-of-stroke impact via the 50 mm adjustable air cushion.
Lift Gate Actuation
Lifts materials weighing up to 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the rigid four tie-rod construction to resist side loading.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore option, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore offers 15708 N. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base model cannot accept sensors. Furthermore, a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered—the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 SGC160X160 FAQ
The SGC160X160 delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 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.
It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, fitting standard large-bore fixtures and accessories. It does not hold its load if air is lost; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so an external rod lock is required for position holding.
