Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220TC 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 SGC160X220TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder brings serious muscle to automated lines. The Ø160 mm bore operates via a G3/4 port, and the unit relies on a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom brackets. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle heavy thrust without flexing.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to maximize component lifespan across long cycling shifts.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220TC Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Uses the 10053 N push force to deflect heavy timber pallets onto secondary packaging lines without stalling.
Heavy-Duty Gate Actuation
Employs the TC trunnion mount to pivot large bulk-storage containment gates in automated distribution centers.
Press Ejection
Cycles the 220 mm stroke to push formed metal components out of hydraulic presses, relying on the tie-rod rigidity to absorb shock.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X220TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify if the 10053 N at 0.5 MPa provides adequate thrust, or if stepping up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N) is necessary for heavier loads; conversely, the smaller 125 mm bore offers 6136 N if you need to lighten the assembly. The included TC trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting applications, but ensure your structural supports can handle the cylinder weight plus the dynamic loads. Since this model has no -S suffix, it cannot support magnetic sensors, so external mechanical limit switches must be used for end-of-stroke detection. Furthermore, a plain pneumatic cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps. To maintain vertical position safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. With a 220 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SGC160X220TC FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must use external mechanical limit switches, or select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing.
