Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X425S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X425S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 425mm 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 SGC160X425S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty 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 safety margin.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. It features a 40 mm rod, a G3/4 air port, and M36x2.0 rod threading. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X425S Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Ejects heavy formed sheet metal parts from stamping presses using its 10053 N push capacity and 425 mm reach.
Pallet Dispenser
Pushes empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 512 kg vertical lift equivalent to manage stack weight.
Logistics Diverter
Actuates heavy-duty diverter arms on conveyor belts to route large freight cartons reliably at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X425S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This 160 mm option hits a strong middle ground. Because the 425 mm stroke is relatively long, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
If the machine loses air, the piston drifts since the air cushion only decelerates the stroke end. For suspended loads, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The ISO 15552 mounting interface allows easy fixture integration using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion accessories.
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 SGC160X425S FAQ
The 160 mm bore provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, supporting LB, FA, CA, and TC mounts.
