Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X280
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X280 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 280mm 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 SGC160X280
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing high rigidity under large thrust loads, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 160 mm bore utilizes a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread. You can pair it with LB foot mounts, FA flanges, or TC trunnions, all conforming to standard ISO 15552 mounting-interface dimensions for easy fixture integration.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X280 Is Used
Automated Stamping Presses
Provides the robust 10053 N thrust needed to actuate heavy stamping dies and form metal components in high-volume automotive part production.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanisms
Handles the 280 mm extraction stroke to separate and feed empty pallets into packaging lines, utilizing the rigid tie-rod build to handle pallet weight.
Heavy Gauge Material Gates
Actuates large diverter gates in aggregate or bulk material handling chutes, where the 50 mm adjustable cushions absorb the high end-of-stroke kinetic energy.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X280 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 280 mm stroke actuator, consider the neighboring SGC bores: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your mechanism requires position holding on air loss, note that a plain cylinder drifts when the valve is centered; the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. Furthermore, at 280 mm of travel, ensure your guidance system absorbs side loads to prevent rod bending, and select the -S magnet variant if your control system requires CMSG or DMSG sensors.
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 SGC160X280 FAQ
The 160 mm bore yields a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need to order the -S variant (SGC160X280-S) to enable magnetic sensing. The unit is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface and uses four steel tie rods for structural rigidity.
