Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160S 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 SGC160X160S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed for large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. 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 SGC160X160S includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. It features a 40 mm piston rod, a G3/4 air port, and M36x2.0 rod threads. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings using its 10053 N push force, with the 160 mm stroke completing the insertion cycle.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop on high-capacity roller conveyors, holding back loaded pallets before they enter the wrapping station.
Injection Mold Clamp
Secures large injection mold halves, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain alignment under high clamping loads.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm option (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) and the 200 mm option (15708 N push @0.5 MPa), giving you a clear upgrade path if your 125 mm setup stalls or a lighter alternative to a 200 mm unit. Because this is a 160 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure your load is guided to prevent rod bending. The included -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps; they do not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a vertical position securely.
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 SGC160X160S FAQ
The SGC160X160S 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 rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures and mounting accessories. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed switches.
