Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 180mm 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 SGC160X180
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder brings serious thrust to heavy automation. The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to manage kinetic energy. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the 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 lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares standard accessory dimensions. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. If position feedback is required, an external -S variant is necessary. The standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180 Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the robust 10053 N push force needed to eject heavy stamped metal parts from large press dies.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty pneumatic stop gate on high-mass conveyor lines, absorbing kinetic energy via its 50 mm cushions.
Material Drop Fixture
Drives heavy material drop fixtures where the 180 mm stroke precisely lowers components onto assembly cradles.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify your actual load against the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less thrust, the smaller Ø125 bore offers 6136 N push; stepping up to the Ø200 bore provides 15708 N. Because this 180 mm stroke is under 500 mm, rod bending is less critical, but always guide the load to prevent side loads. Note that a standard SGC does not hold position if air is lost—the piston drifts, as the cushions only decelerate near stroke end. For suspended loads, add an external rod lock or 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 SGC160X180 FAQ
The Ø160 mm bore 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, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the tie-rod construction matches ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions for easy fixture integration. However, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.
