Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 270mm 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 SGC160X270
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 for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270 Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the 10053 N push force required to eject heavy stamped metal parts from a press bed over a 270 mm travel distance.
Pallet Stopper Arm
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop in high-mass conveyor lines, using its 9425 N pull force to retract the barrier for pallet passage.
Injection Mould Clamp
Secures large mould halves in automated plastic injection cells, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to withstand high clamping forces.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing adjacent to this 160 mm bore: stepping down to the SGC125 yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SGC200 provides 15708 N. With a 270 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails support the load to prevent rod bending under side loads. Remember that air loss causes the piston to drift; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held, as the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not brake.
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 SGC160X270 FAQ
The SGC160X270 delivers 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. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops into standard FA flange or TC trunnion fixtures. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
