The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X310 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 310mm 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 large-bore double-acting cylinder is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, ensuring it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while a 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 safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The Ø160 bore uses a 40 mm hard-chrome rod, a G3/4 air port, and a M36x2.0 rod-end thread. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

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.
Provides the robust 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to eject formed metal parts from heavy stamping presses.
Handles the 310 mm stroke to index empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines without drifting under load.
Secures large automotive components during machining using the rigid four-tie-rod construction and 14074 N output at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify if the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, or step up to the Ø200 bore offering 15708 N. If your application is lighter, the Ø125 bore provides 6136 N. Because this 310 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending under side loads. This base model has no magnet and cannot support sensors; choose an -S variant if CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches are required. Note that air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a lock, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held vertically.
Quick checklist
The Ø160 bore generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an -S designated model if position sensing is required for your ISO 15552 mounting setup.
