Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SH
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SH 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 SGC160X400SH
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface for direct fixture and accessory interchangeability. The SGC160X400SH features a robust tie-rod design where four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Equipped with a -S piston magnet, it readily accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Because this SKU includes the H seal option, it uses Viton FKM elastomers to operate in environments up to 150 C, far exceeding the standard -20 to 70 C range. For practical sizing, 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. The unit features a 40 mm rod, a G3/4 air port, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to tame end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SH Is Used
Automotive Press Transfer
Moves heavy stamping panels between die stations using the 10053 N push force, relying on the Viton H seals to withstand radiant heat from nearby ovens.
Palletizer Head Actuator
Lowers heavy product loads onto shipping pallets, where the 50 mm adjustable air cushions absorb the kinetic energy of the 400 mm stroke at the end of travel.
Plastic Injection Mold Ejector
Pushes finished molded parts out of hot tooling, utilizing the 0-150 C high-temperature Viton H seal option to survive ambient shop heat near the mold halves.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model hits a strong middle ground for heavy actuation. The 400 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum, but at this length you should support the load with external guide rails to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps; it does not function as a brake. If the application must hold a vertical load when air pressure drops or the valve centers, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
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 SGC160X400SH FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod. The thrust output is 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes, the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing you to use standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches to the cylinder barrel for position detection.
