Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 400mm 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 SGC160X400
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 aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an internal oil reservoir, ensuring long mechanical life across the 400 mm stroke. A practical buyer insight: plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The bore dictates a G3/4 port and an M36x2.0 rod thread, while the default TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, a Viton H seal option is available. Adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy smoothly at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400 Is Used
Pallet Transfer Stops
Halts heavy wood or steel pallets on a conveyor line, using the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to reliably retract a heavy-duty stopper blade.
Automated Storage Cranes
Drives the horizontal pusher arms on automated storage and retrieval systems, moving loaded trays within distribution warehouses.
Press Ejection Systems
Ejects formed metal parts from large hydraulic presses, relying on the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to soften the impact at full extension.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore option, compare it against its neighbours: the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore jumps to 15708 N. If your fixture requires position feedback, step up to an SGC160X400-S variant to enable magnetic sensing. At 400 mm of travel, side loads become a concern; use a guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred. The air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 SGC160X400 FAQ
The SGC160X400 generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops directly into existing large-bore foot, flange, or trunnion fixtures. The robust tie-rod build matches standard ISO 15552 dimensions without claiming brand equivalence.
