About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X170STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life.
It features a 160 mm bore, a 170 mm stroke, and a G3/4 air port. Plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the TC trunnion mounting interface simplifies integration into ISO 15552 fixtures.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X170STC Is Used
Automotive Press Die Handling
Utilizes the 10053 N push force to lift and position heavy stamping dies onto press beds, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to prevent deflection during transfer.
Palletized Load Push-Off
Employs the 170 mm stroke to push assembled pallets onto outbound conveyors, taking advantage of the TC trunnion mount to accommodate angular misalignment during the push cycle.
Injection Mold Clamping
Provides auxiliary clamping pressure for large plastic injection molds, using the built-in magnet and DMSG sensors to confirm mold closure before resin injection.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X170STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your application strictly requires holding a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, note that a standard cylinder will drift; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and acts as no brake. You must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. The 170 mm stroke falls well under the 1500 mm maximum, so standard side-load concerns are minimal, but always ensure the TC trunnion mount aligns with your pivot axis to prevent rod binding.
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 SGC160X170STC FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It 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 force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the TC trunnion and overall body dimensions are strictly governed by the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into standard large-bore fixtures. Additionally, the -S magnet option allows you to directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches onto the cylinder barrel for position feedback.
