The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X200S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 200mm 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long component life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle the high air volumes required for the 160 mm bore.
Because the code includes an -S suffix, this unit has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The default TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C environments.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the robust 10053 N push force needed to eject heavy formed parts from large stamping presses, utilizing the 200 mm stroke for full clearance.
Acts as a high-force stop gate in heavy palletizing lines, using the -S magnet to confirm gate position for the safety controller.
Drives heavy platens downward in automated forming machines, where the tie-rod construction maintains stability under 14074 N loads at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, a standard cylinder cannot hold a suspended load—the piston will drift, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end. For vertical applications, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. At a 200 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but ensure your mounting—whether LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—aligns the rod precisely to prevent guide wear.
Quick checklist
The 160 mm bore provides a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into existing large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures and accessory kits. The robust tie-rod build handles high thrust, and the included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-position detection.
