Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250CA
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250CA is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 250mm 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 SGC160X250CA
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore actuator relies on a rigid tie-rod build where four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the end covers. The Ø160 mm bore operates on a G3/4 port, and the integrated two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended lifespan. It provides adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends to decelerate the 250 mm stroke smoothly.
Because it follows the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom bracketry. Plan for roughly 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250CA Is Used
Press Ejection Systems
Uses the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to eject formed metal parts from heavy stamping presses, relying on the 250 mm stroke to clear the die area completely.
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Handles the 512 kg vertical lift equivalent to index empty pallets into a stacking magazine, utilizing the CA clevis mount for pivoting articulation.
Automated Welding Clamp
Secures heavy structural beams during robotic welding operations, using the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to soften the impact at the end of the 250 mm extension.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to a 125 mm unit drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to a 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N. This model includes a CA clevis mount, but the ISO 15552 interface also accommodates LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion accessories. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant for sensor compatibility.
For the 250 mm stroke, which exceeds 500 mm, mounting alignment is critical to prevent excessive side loading and rod bending. Furthermore, a standard cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The end cushions only decelerate motion near stroke end and do not act as a brake, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
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 SGC160X250CA FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and generates 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 host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an SGC160X250CA-S variant to enable magnetic sensing.
