Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X230S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X230S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 230mm 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 SGC160X230S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops neatly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom bracket redesign.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X230S Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the robust 10053 N push force required to eject heavy stamped metal parts from large press dies.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force stopper gate in pallet conveyors, using the 230 mm stroke to block and release loaded pallets.
Wood Press Clamping
Secures thick timber beams during multi-spindle drilling operations, utilizing the -S magnet to confirm clamp closure.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X230S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: the Ø125 bore outputs 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø200 bore steps up to 15708 N. If your load requires holding position on air loss or valve centring, remember the piston will drift; the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end and acts as no brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
This specific 230 mm stroke is a non-standard intermediate length, so expect a made-to-order lead time. Because the stroke exceeds 200 mm, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA/FB flange, CA/CB clevis, and TC trunnion.
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 SGC160X230S FAQ
The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port. It generates 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 of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so standard large-bore accessories fit perfectly. The included -S magnet allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
