About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium 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.
The built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for precise end-position detection. It features a 40 mm piston rod, a G3/4 air port, and M36x2.0 rod-end threading. Standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H and NBR N options available for specialized thermal or chemical environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30S Is Used
Short-Stroke Stamping
Ideal for high-force pressing and stamping tasks in metal fabrication where a brief 30 mm travel is needed to form or mark heavy components.
Heavy Diverting
Provides robust actuation for diverting heavy pallets or workpieces on assembly lines, using the integrated magnet for immediate position confirmation.
Pallet Clamping
Secures large loaded pallets in automated packaging cells, utilizing its 10053 N push force to lock items firmly in place during transit.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X30S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 160 mm bore over the smaller 125 mm bore (which provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) gives a substantial force upgrade, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N if your application demands even heavier thrust. Because this is a short 30 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal compared to longer travels, but ensuring axial alignment remains critical for seal longevity.
The integrated -S magnet allows seamless mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without external hardware. Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston will drift. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends, so specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended 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 SGC160X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 160 mm bore cylinder uses a G3/4 air port and features a 40 mm rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops directly into standard large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures and mounting accessories. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for reed or electronic sensing.
