Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180S 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 SGC160X180S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for large-bore industrial tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long service life. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle the necessary airflow for a 160 mm bore operating at 30-500 mm/s.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this model supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. 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 standard TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for environments up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180S Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to eject heavy stamped metal panels from large press dies.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force stop gate in conveyor systems, using the -S magnet to confirm gate closure before pallet transfer.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures heavy injection molding tooling halves with reliable rigidity, leveraging the four steel tie rods to absorb shock.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X180S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, compare its 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller SGC125 (6136 N) or the larger SGC200 (15708 N) to match your exact load. The 180 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, but for any application exceeding 500 mm you must account for side-load risks and use external guide rails to prevent rod bending. The ISO 15552 mounting interface allows easy drops into existing fixtures using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets.
Remember that the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends; they do not function as a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
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 SGC160X180S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and generates 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It is also dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, accepting standard LB, FA, and TC accessories.
