Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X260
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X260 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 260mm 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 SGC160X260
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread supply the air volume and mechanical strength needed for high-thrust cycles. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity required to handle large-bore pressure without flexing. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long seal life.
Because it follows the ISO 15552 mounting interface, this model drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares standard accessory dimensions. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 260 mm stroke falls within the 1500 mm standard limit, and adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X260 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearings into automotive transmission housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably without external hydraulics.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-thrust blocking mechanism in conveyor merging lines, absorbing the impact of loaded pallets using the 50 mm adjustable air cushion at stroke end.
Heavy Box Flap Folder
Folds thick cardboard flaps on large industrial appliance cartons, where the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes material resistance during the retraction cycle.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X260 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, compare your actual load against its 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the smaller 125 mm SGC bore offers 6136 N push, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N push for heavier demands. For vertical or suspended loads, remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel and does not act as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load safely. Additionally, at the 260 mm stroke length, ensure your external guide rails carry the side-load to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SGC160X260 FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 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 magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing, though you can still use the ISO 15552 mounting interface for mechanical accessories.
