Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250STC 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 SGC160X250STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder brings serious thrust to heavy industrial automation. The Ø160 mm bore operates on a G3/4 air port, yielding 9425 N of pull force on the retract stroke. Because it is built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesigning your tooling.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads without flexing. The included -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position sensing, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250STC Is Used
Press and Stamping Feed
Pushes heavy coil stock or blanks into a mechanical press with 10053 N of force, using the TC trunnion to pivot and align the material feed.
Pallet Dispenser
Separates empty pallets from a vertical magazine stack, relying on the 9425 N retract pull force to positively clear the bottom unit.
Heavy Gate Actuator
Opens and closes large industrial safety gates or bulkhead doors, utilizing the 250 mm stroke and tie-rod rigidity for stable horizontal movement.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit against the SGC family, the smaller Ø125 bore provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø200 bore yields 15708 N. This model includes a TC trunnion mount, but the ISO 15552 standard interface allows easy swapping to foot, flange, or clevis accessories. Because this SKU features the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed switches.
At a 250 mm stroke, the piston rod is subjected to leverage forces, so ensure your end-of-rod tooling is guided to prevent side-load bending. Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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.
