Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400FA
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400FA 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 SGC160X400FA
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning with ease. The Ø160 mm bore utilizes a G3/4 air port and a Ø40 mm carbon steel rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing high structural rigidity under large-bore thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long operational life.
Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and FA flange accessories. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400FA Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearings into automotive transmission housings using the 10053 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
Pallet Dispenser
Pushes empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 400 mm stroke and FA flange mount for rigid positioning.
Injection Mold Ejection
Ejects dense plastic components from heavy molds, relying on the steel tie-rod construction to withstand high impact forces.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400FA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, compare your actual load against the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø125 bore provides 6136 N; if you need substantially more power, the Ø200 bore offers 15708 N. The integrated FA flange mounting simplifies rigid body attachment, but remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends rather than locking the load, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure vertical holding. Furthermore, at 400 mm of stroke, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear from side loads.
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 SGC160X400FA FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
