Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160TC 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 SGC160X160TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore actuator uses a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface to drop directly into existing heavy-duty fixtures. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, ensuring high rigidity while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The unit features a 160 mm stroke, a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends, and a G3/4 port.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. Plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though Viton H options extend this range up to 150 C for high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160TC Is Used
Automated Press Stamping
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to form heavy-gauge sheet metal components in automated stamping presses.
Pallet Dispenser Actuation
Uses the 160 mm stroke to push empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, handling substantial weight with reliable double-acting power.
Injection Mold Clamping
Clamps large industrial molds securely in place during plastic injection molding, utilizing the rigid four-tie-rod construction to resist deflection.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X160TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore option, verify your actual load requirements against its 10053 N push and 9425 N pull capabilities at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands less force, the smaller 125 mm bore offers 6136 N of push, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N for heavier loads. The integrated TC trunnion mount suits pivoting articulated mechanisms, and you should pair it with appropriate ISO 15552 accessories. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the end cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke limits rather than locking it. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X160TC FAQ
This 160 mm bore model features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. 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, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. It is built with a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with standard large-bore fixtures and trunnion accessories.
