The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X450N 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 double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The Ø160 mm bore uses a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb kinetic energy. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Equipped from the factory with NBR seals, this unit is optimized for standard industrial temperatures rather than the high-temperature Viton range.
Because the piston generates substantial thrust, plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin. This equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor, giving you a concrete benchmark for matching part weights. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; add the -S variant if your control system requires magnetic sensing.

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.
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Acts as a robust 450 mm stroke blocking barrier on high-throughput conveyor lines, halting loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg.
Secures intermediate mold plates in plastics manufacturing, using the NBR seals and tie-rod rigidity for repeated cycling.
This 160 mm bore sits between the SGC125 (which provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SGC200 (which outputs 15708 N). If your load demands less force, the 125 mm bore saves space, while the 200 mm bore is necessary if you need to push beyond 14000 N at 0.7 MPa. With a 450 mm stroke, mount the cylinder carefully to prevent rod bending under side loads; external guide rails are recommended to absorb any lateral forces and prevent premature seal wear.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The end-of-stroke cushions only decelerate the piston and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated pneumatic rod lock.
Quick checklist
The Ø160 mm bore 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, increasing to 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Dimensionally, it uses the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures and accessory kits without modifications.
