Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220S 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 SGC160X220S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. 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 for long mechanical life. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread are standard for this 160 mm bore.
Because the model includes the -S magnet, it 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. Standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, though Viton H options extend this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearings into automotive housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components reliably without hydraulic fluid.
Pallet Dispenser
Separates empty pallets from a stack in high-throughput logistics lines, using the 220 mm stroke and robust tie-rod build to handle repetitive impacts.
Platen Lifting
Raises and lowers heavy molding platens, depending on the -S magnet and EMSG sensors to confirm positioning for safe mold changes.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, verify if the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa offers enough margin, or step up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N) for heavier demands; stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N. This 220 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but for any application exceeding 500 mm, guide the load externally to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The -S magnet pairs directly with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely during an outage, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SGC160X220S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder 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, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops into standard large-bore fixtures. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for position detection.
