Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 50mm 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 SGC160X50
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 160 mm bore actuator handles heavy-duty cycles with confidence. The SGC160X50 is a double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder, meaning its four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for maximum structural rigidity under high thrust. It features a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm stroke.
Because the piston seal incorporates an oil-reservoir function, internal lubrication is maintained for a long service life. 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. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50 Is Used
Automated Stamping Presses
Provides the robust 10053 N clamping force required to hold heavy metal sheets in place during high-speed stamping operations.
Pallet Diverters
Executes rapid 50 mm linear pushes to redirect heavy pallets across high-throughput packaging and distribution conveyor lines.
Injection Molding Ejectors
Delivers a compact but powerful 50 mm kick to free dense molded plastic parts from the tool cavity after cooling.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model against the SGC family, the smaller 125 mm bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore steps up to 15708 N. Choose the 160 mm bore when your application demands the 10053 N output but does not warrant the physical size of the 200 mm unit. Since this is a short 50 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure the load is axially aligned to prevent premature rod-seal wear.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is removed or the valve is centered; the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a locking brake. If your machine requires the load to be held in place during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, because this SKU has no -S suffix, magnetic sensing is unsupported.
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 SGC160X50 FAQ
The SGC160X50 features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard large-bore fixtures like FA flanges or TC trunnions. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
