Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X480N
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X480N is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 480mm 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 SGC160X480N
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore class. The NBR seal option equips this unit for specific media conditions.
Because the 10053 N rating is theoretical, plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long life. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X480N Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Provides the robust 10053 N push force needed to eject heavy formed parts from stamping presses, utilizing its NBR seals for durability in oily environments.
Pallet Dispenser
Handles the 480 mm stroke to push empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to handle repetitive lateral impacts.
Heavy Fixture Clamping
Secures large steel weldments during machining, delivering 14074 N of clamping force at 0.7 MPa while maintaining position through the cycle.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X480N the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare your actual load against the 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the smaller 125 mm bore provides 6136 N; stepping up to the 200 mm bore yields 15708 N. This 480 mm stroke is well below the 1500 mm maximum, keeping the rod compact, though you should still use external guide rails to prevent side-load bending on long extensions.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable 50 mm cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your fixture.
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 SGC160X480N FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, meaning CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface for easy fixture integration.
