Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SN
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SN 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 SGC160X400SN
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. The -N suffix specifies an NBR seal, making it suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SN Is Used
Automotive Press Transfer
Moves heavy stamped panels between die stations using the 10053 N push force, relying on the 400 mm stroke to clear the tooling area.
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Indexes empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the NBR seals and ISO 15552 mounting interface for rigid fixture integration.
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides consistent ejection force for large molded parts, using the built-in -S magnet with DMSG sensors to confirm full retraction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400SN the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the SGC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SGC200 (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa), giving you a clear upgrade path if your 400 mm stroke requires more or less force. The NBR seal handles standard ambient conditions perfectly. For strokes of 400 mm or longer, carefully align your load guides to prevent side-loading and rod bending.
Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not function as a brake. To hold a load securely mid-stroke, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SGC160X400SN FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 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.
The -N suffix indicates NBR seals rated for -20 to +70 C. The ISO 15552 tie-rod construction remains dimensionally interchangeable with standard fixtures, but for 0-150 C high-heat applications you would need the Viton H seal option instead.
