Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X350FTC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X350FTC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 350mm 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 SGC160X350FTC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads without flexing. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life. A G3/4 port supplies air to the 40 mm piston rod, while 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; choose the -S variant if you require position sensing. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The standard TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X350FTC Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Pushes heavy loaded pallets sideways onto secondary packaging lines using its 10053 N thrust rating.
Press Ejection
Ejects formed metal parts from hydraulic presses, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable cushions to stop smoothly.
Lift Gate Actuation
Raises and lowers heavy loading dock gates, safely moving loads up to the 512 kg vertical lift threshold.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X350FTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller Ø125 generates 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø200 provides 15708 N. This model hits a strong middle ground for medium-to-heavy machinery. The FTC trunnion mounting interface makes it dimensionally interchangeable with other ISO 15552 large-bore accessories, simplifying fixture design and spares replacement.
At a 350 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is well within standard length limits, but always ensure your external guide rails carry the actual payload to prevent side-load bending. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and does not act as a brake. To hold a vertical load securely, install 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 SGC160X350FTC FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm rod. It generates 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 the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an SGC model with the -S suffix to enable magnetic position sensing.
