The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X300S 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 160 mm bore tie-rod actuator handles heavy-duty automation with ease. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural 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 translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
As a genuine ISO 15552 standard cylinder, it drops seamlessly into existing large-bore fixtures via standardized mounting interface dimensions. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

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.
Ejects heavy stamped metal parts from press dies using 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the 50 mm cushions to absorb impact.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate on heavy-duty pallet conveyors, holding back loads up to 512 kg with a 2:1 vertical lift margin.
Provides auxiliary clamping force on large injection molding fixtures, utilizing the rigid four-tie-rod construction to resist deflection.
When sizing this 300 mm stroke model, verify if the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa fits your requirement or if you need to step down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N) or up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N). Because this plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your application requires strict load holding. The end-of-stroke cushions decelerate the piston but do not act as a brake.
With a 300 mm stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending and side-loading damage. The included -S magnet allows seamless integration with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-position confirmation.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an 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 fits standard large-bore accessories like FA flanges or TC trunnions. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches.
