Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270S 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 SGC160X270S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder brings serious thrust to heavy industrial automation. The SGC160X270S features a 160 mm bore, a 270 mm stroke, and a G3/4 air port. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because it is built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom brackets.
The trailing S in the model code indicates a built-in piston magnet, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for position sensing. 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. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though Viton H options extend this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270S Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy-duty mechanical presses for seating large bearings, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to ensure complete and precise insertion.
Pallet Handling
Lifts and indexes loaded pallets on packaging lines, where the 270 mm stroke provides the exact reach needed to push heavy containers onto accumulation conveyors.
Injection Mould Extraction
Extracts bulky formed parts from injection moulding machines, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain alignment under high extraction forces.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X270S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, note that stepping down to the smaller SGC125 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to the SGC200 raises it to 15708 N. The included -S magnet is essential if your control system requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor feedback. Keep in mind that the standard adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not lock the rod. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift. With a 270 mm stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads.
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 SGC160X270S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a M36x2.0 rod thread. It 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 force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it accepts standard large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
