The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X210S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 210mm 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 double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. 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. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle the high airflow and mechanical load required by large-bore pneumatics.
Because the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, this unit directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. 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. You can also specify Viton H seals if your environment demands 0-150 C high-temperature operation.

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.
Drives heavy bearings into automotive housings, utilising the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Separates stacked pallets in high-throughput logistics lines, where the 512 kg vertical lift capacity handles heavy wood or plastic bases.
Actuates secondary mould locks or core pulls on large plastic injection machines, benefiting from the rigid four tie-rod construction.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore jumps to 15708 N. This 210 mm stroke version sits well below the 1500 mm standard maximum, keeping the 40 mm rod highly stable without requiring external guides. The ISO 15552 mounting interface lets you drop it into existing large-bore fixtures using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion accessories.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, its ISO 15552 mounting interface means it is dimensionally interchangeable with standard large-bore fixtures, simplifying retrofits and spare parts inventory without tying you to a single brand.
