The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X35SN is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 35mm 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 double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for roughly 6032 N of real work, which means it lifts about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This specific SKU includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and uses an NBR seal suitable for standard operating temperatures. It features a 160 mm bore, a 35 mm stroke, a G3/4 air port, and an M36x2.0 rod thread. The adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke end.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Drives bearings into heavy housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa for reliable seating.
Acts as a robust end-stop for loaded pallets on conveyor lines, absorbing impact with its 50 mm adjustable cushion.
Shifts heavy diverter gates on packaging sortation systems using the CMSG sensor to confirm position.
If you need less force, the smaller SGC125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the SGC200 yields 15708 N. For this 35 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always guide the rod end to prevent premature seal wear. This model uses an NBR seal, and the -S magnet enables position sensing.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 14074 N push and 13194 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G3/4.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it fits standard large-bore fixtures and brackets. It does not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
