Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X165S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X165S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 165mm 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 SGC160X165S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 160 mm bore cylinder is built around a rigid ISO 15552 tie-rod architecture. Four steel rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended service life. Because it uses the standardised ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesigning brackets.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. 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 unit features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X165S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilising the 10053 N push force to seat components precisely without hydraulic fluid leaks.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate on heavy-duty roller conveyors, reliably halting loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg.
Injection Mould Extraction
Extracts large moulded plastic parts from injection machines, using the CMSG sensor track to confirm full retraction before the press closes.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X165S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore option, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore steps up to 15708 N. This 160 mm model hits a solid middle ground for medium-to-heavy automation. Since the 165 mm stroke is well under the 500 mm threshold, rod bending is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent side-loading damage to the seals.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the end cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. If your application requires strict position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, ensure your mounting choice—whether LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—matches the ISO 15552 interface to handle the thrust safely.
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 SGC160X165S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. The thrust output is 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 at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The tie-rod body uses the ISO 15552 mounting interface, making it dimensionally interchangeable with other standard large-bore cylinders so you can reuse existing LB, FA, or TC mounting accessories.
