Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250TC 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 SGC160X250TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life.
Equipped with a G3/4 port and a 250 mm stroke, the unit uses a 40 mm carbon steel rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250TC Is Used
Pallet Transfer Diverters
Pushes heavy wood pallets off a high-speed main conveyor line using the 10053 N thrust available at 0.5 MPa.
Automated Warehousing Gates
Actuates large security rolling doors on storage aisles, utilising the 250 mm stroke to clear the pathway.
Press Ejection Systems
Ejects formed metal parts from a 200-ton hydraulic press, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod build to absorb shocks.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X250TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against the 125 mm bore (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) or the larger 200 mm bore (15708 N push @0.5 MPa) to match your exact load. The included TC trunnion mount bolts directly into ISO 15552 interface fixtures. Since the 250 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, use external guide rails to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Note that an air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and never acts as a brake. If the machine loses air pressure, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold suspended loads safely.
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 SGC160X250TC FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select an -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The TC trunnion mount uses standard ISO 15552 dimensions, ensuring it drops into existing large-bore fixtures.
