Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X40S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X40S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 40mm 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 SGC160X40S
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 interchangeability. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity needed to handle heavy thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Equipped with a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm stroke, it integrates seamlessly into existing large-bore setups.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this unit supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. 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 standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though Viton H options extend this to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X40S Is Used
Press Fit Operations
Drives short-stroke bearing or bushing insertion presses, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Heavy Stamping Clamps
Secures thick steel plates in automated stamping lines, where the 40 mm stroke rapidly locks parts into the fixture before the press descends.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a heavy-duty stopping gate on high-mass pallet conveyors, using the integrated magnet to trigger CMSG sensors for precise indexing.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X40S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare it against its neighbours: step down to a 125 mm bore for 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to a 200 mm bore for 15708 N. This model includes the -S magnet, so it is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without modification. The 40 mm stroke keeps the rod extension short, minimizing side-load risks.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. If your application requires strict load holding on pneumatic failure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X40S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the tie-rod construction is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops into standard large-bore fixtures. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly for position detection.
