The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X200SH 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 actuator handles heavy industrial loads with ease. The Ø160 mm barrel is clamped between the front and rear covers by four steel tie rods, creating a highly rigid structure that withstands large-bore thrust. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long operational life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
This double-acting tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping directly into existing large-bore fixtures. The H suffix denotes a Viton seal upgrade, extending the operating temperature range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C for high-heat environments. It features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod-end thread, and adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. Because the code includes an S, the built-in piston magnet is present and fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.

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.
Utilizes the 10053 N push force to secure heavy injection mold halves, with the Viton seal surviving elevated ambient heat near the barrel heaters.
Acts as a robust 200 mm stroke stop gate on high-capacity conveyor lines, using the CMSG sensor to confirm gate position for the PLC.
Ejects dense forged parts from a hydraulic press, relying on the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb kinetic energy at stroke end.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare your requirements against the neighboring SGC bores: the smaller Ø125 generates 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø200 provides 15708 N. If your system loses air or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and drop the load because the air cushions only decelerate motion near stroke end without acting as a brake. To maintain vertical position, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 200 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum, but for any application exceeding 500 mm, adding external guide rails prevents rod bending under side loads. The -S magnet allows seamless sensor integration, while the -H Viton seal handles extreme heat up to 150 C.
Quick checklist
The Ø160 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, the tie-rod construction is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it fits standard FA flanges, CA clevises, and TC trunnions. The S suffix provides a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The H suffix equips the cylinder with Viton seals, raising the maximum operating temperature to 150 C.
