The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X450H is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 450mm 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The Viton H seal option equips this specific unit for extreme thermal demands, extending the operating range up to 150 C. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle substantial thrust without flexing. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long-term lubrication and seal life.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual 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 ensure high flow and robust mechanical attachment for demanding industrial cycles.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Applies high clamping thrust on heavy polymer injection molds, utilizing the Viton H seal to withstand ambient heat radiating from the heated platens.
Indexes empty or loaded pallets along a conveyor line, where the 450 mm stroke provides the exact reach needed to clear downstream machinery.
Ejects dense forged or stamped metal parts from a press bed, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to absorb sudden impact loads without deflection.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller Ø125 generates 6136 N push, while the larger Ø200 provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. This SGC160X450H is ideal when your required force sits comfortably between those two ratings. Since the stroke is 450 mm, carefully manage side loads to prevent rod bending; use guide rails or external load supports to maintain alignment. This non-magnetic version cannot host sensors, so if your sequence requires end-of-stroke detection, select the -S variant instead. Remember that the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps; they do not function as a brake. To prevent drifting when air is lost or a valve is centered, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 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 H seal option uses Viton FKM to handle temperatures up to 150 C. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must select an -S model for position sensing.
