Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X440S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X440S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 440mm 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 SGC160X440S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore actuator handles substantial industrial loads across its 440 mm travel. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the high rigidity needed to withstand large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. 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 G3/4 port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X440S Is Used
Automotive Press Loading
Pushes heavy stamped body panels into holding fixtures using the 10053 N available at 0.5 MPa, relying on the 440 mm stroke to clear the press bed.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanism
Separates empty pallets from a vertical magazine stack, utilizing the robust tie-rod construction to handle repetitive high-thrust extraction cycles.
Heavy Package Diverting
Actuates a heavy-duty routing gate on a high-throughput packaging line, using the built-in magnet for DMSG sensor confirmation at each stroke end.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X440S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify your actual load against the 10053 N push rating at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the smaller SGC125 bore offers 6136 N; if you need substantially more power, stepping up to the SGC200 provides 15708 N. Because this 440 mm stroke approaches the longer end of the standard range, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear from side loads.
This model includes the -S piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the end cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your 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 SGC160X440S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air 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, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it fits standard FA/FB flanges, CA/CB clevises, and TC trunnions. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches directly to the barrel.
