The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X300 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 300mm 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and a Ø40 mm hard-chrome rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing high rigidity under large-bore thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The default TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, and adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Pushes heavy coil stock into a mechanical press, utilizing the 10053 N push force to overcome material friction during continuous high-speed feeding operations.
Separates empty pallets at the end of a packaging line, using the 300 mm stroke to index wood pallets reliably without risking rod deflection.
Acts as a secondary ejection or clamping mechanism on large injection molding machines, where the ISO 15552 mounting interface allows easy integration with existing tooling.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller Ø125 bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø200 bore provides 15708 N. This SGC160X300 strikes a middle ground for medium-to-heavy loads. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; add the -S variant if you require position sensing. With a 300 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Note that a standard cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. The end-of-stroke cushions only decelerate the motion; they do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
The SGC160X300 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 features a G3/4 air port, a Ø40 mm piston rod, and an M36x2.0 rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches, you must select the -S variant of this cylinder. Additionally, its ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures it matches standard foot, flange, and trunnion accessories.
