Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250LB
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250LB 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 SGC160X250LB
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore standard.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if you need position detection. Standard TPU seals support -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250LB Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings using the 10053 N push force available at 0.5 MPa operating pressure.
Pallet Stopping
Halts loaded pallets on conveyors via the LB foot mount, absorbing kinetic energy through the 50 mm adjustable air cushions.
Gate Actuation
Opens and closes large industrial bulkhead gates where the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa securely retracts the 40 mm rod.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250LB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against the 125 mm bore (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter jobs, or step up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N push @0.5 MPa) if your application exceeds 10053 N. The 250 mm stroke falls under the 500 mm threshold, so standard rod bending is minimal, but always ensure the LB foot mounting provides a rigid base. Because this is a plain cylinder, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushions only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 SGC160X250LB FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing capabilities.
