About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X450
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 aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life. Because this is a 450 mm stroke unit, you should 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 G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread provide robust pneumatic and mechanical connections for demanding cycles. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing. You can customize the operating environment using the standard TPU seals for normal duty, or switch to the Viton H option for high-temperature applications up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X450 Is Used
Pallet Stopper Assembly
Halts heavy wooden pallets weighing up to 500 kg on a high-throughput packaging line, using the 10053 N push force to absorb kinetic impact safely.
Warehouse Hoist Gate
Raises and lowers a 450 mm stroke lifting gate in automated storage systems, moving bulky inventory containers between processing tiers.
Press Ejection Mechanism
Ejects formed metal components from a 160 ton hydraulic press, utilizing the 9425 N pull force to retract the part clear of the tooling.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X450 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare your actual load against the available thrust. If you need less force, dropping down to the 125 mm bore reduces the push output to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends rather than locking it. For vertical or suspended loads that must be held in place during an air failure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Because the 450 mm stroke generates significant leverage, carefully manage side loads to prevent rod bending. Guide the load externally to avoid cantilevered stress on the piston rod. Since this model has no -S magnet, position feedback requires external mechanical limit switches rather than groove-mounted sensors.
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 SGC160X450 FAQ
The SGC160X450 features a G3/4 air port and delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 14074 N and the pull force is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for magnetic position sensing, or use external mechanical switches. The unit is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to fit standard large-bore fixtures and accessories.
