Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 30mm 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 SGC160X30
Generating 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for short-stroke heavy clamping. 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. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This double-acting unit features a 30 mm stroke, a Ø40 mm piston rod, and a G3/4 air port. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The default TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping Clamp
Applies 10053 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold thick steel plates securely in place during a hydraulic stamping press cycle.
Pallet Indexing Gate
Uses the short 30 mm stroke to rapidly extend and retract a heavy physical stop gate on a high-throughput packaging conveyor line.
Injection Mold Ejector
Delivers a robust 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract a heavy mold core or eject a dense automotive plastic component from the tool.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to the Ø125 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to the Ø200 bore increases it to 15708 N. This SGC160X30 fits neatly between them for compact 30 mm actuation. Since this specific SKU has no -S suffix, it cannot host magnetic sensors; if automated position feedback is required, select the -S variant instead.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X30 FAQ
The SGC160X30 delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and features a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches without the -S option. Dimensionally, it uses the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures and accessories seamlessly.
