Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 220mm 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 SGC160X220
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore double-acting cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long mechanical life. 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 unit uses a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm hard-chrome piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing. Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares standard accessory dimensions.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220 Is Used
Automotive Press Demolding
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to eject heavy stamped metal panels from large automotive press dies.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanism
Handles the reliable 220 mm stroke and high pull force needed to separate and feed empty wooden pallets in high-throughput logistics centers.
Heavy Extrusion Clamping
Secures aluminum extrusion profiles during cutting operations, utilizing its rigid tie-rod construction to resist deflection under high clamping loads.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare your actual load against its 10053 N push and 9425 N pull ratings at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the smaller 125 mm SGC bore provides 6136 N of push; if you need substantially more power, stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. For this 220 mm stroke, side loads are moderate, but ensuring proper rod-end alignment remains critical to prevent premature seal wear.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the control valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke ends rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop or air loss, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 SGC160X220 FAQ
This 160 mm bore model features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for magnetic position sensing.
