Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X330
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X330 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 330mm 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 SGC160X330
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 160 mm bore cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The AirTAC SGC160X330 features a robust tie-rod design where four steel rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under large thrust loads. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because it uses the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesign. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X330 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives large bearings into automotive transmission housings using its 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Handling
Indexes heavy loaded pallets along a conveyor line using the 330 mm stroke and robust tie-rod build.
Platen Lifting
Raises heavy steel platens in a stamping feed system, safely lifting roughly 512 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X330 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, verify your actual load against the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, the smaller 125 mm SGC bore offers 6136 N push; if you need substantially more thrust, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N push. For this 330 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending under heavy side loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke and does not act as a brake. To safely hold a suspended load, add 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 SGC160X330 FAQ
The SGC160X330 has a G3/4 air port. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the SGC160X330-S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
