Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400STC 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 SGC160X400STC
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 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 default TPU seal handles -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends operation to 150 C. Adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke end to protect the mechanics.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400STC Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Ejects heavy stamped metal parts from press dies using the 10053 N push force, relying on the 400 mm stroke to clear the tooling bed completely.
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Separates and pushes empty pallets into a packaging line, utilizing the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to halt the 400 mm travel without slamming.
Automated Waste Baling
Compresses industrial waste in a baler where the TC trunnion mount accommodates the slight arc of the pivoting 400 mm stroke under high resistance.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X400STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 400 mm stroke model, compare it against the neighbouring SGC bores: the Ø125 delivers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø200 provides 15708 N. For vertical or suspended loads, remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred—the cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held. At 400 mm of travel, guide the rod carefully to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear. The built-in TC trunnion mount simplifies pivoting installations per the ISO 15552 interface.
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 SGC160X400STC FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 port and generates 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, and the included TC trunnion mount allows easy pivot integration alongside standard foot, flange or clevis options.
