Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500FB
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500FB is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 500mm 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 SGC160X500FB
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for large-bore heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long service life. It features a 160 mm bore, a 500 mm stroke, and a G3/4 air port.
Because the theoretical maximum is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa, you should plan for roughly 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The default TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500FB Is Used
Automotive Press Ejection
Provides the robust 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa required to eject heavy stamped metal panels from large press dies.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanism
Utilizes the 500 mm stroke and FB flange mount to push empty pallets into high-speed packaging lines under continuous cyclic load.
Heavy Lumber Sorting Gate
Leverages the 160 mm bore's 14074 N push at 0.7 MPa to pivot large timber bundles along heavy-duty log processing conveyors.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500FB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model includes an FB flange mount, matching the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface for straightforward fixture integration. Since this SKU lacks the -S suffix, magnetic position sensing is not supported.
At 500 mm of stroke, the 40 mm piston rod requires external guide support to prevent side-load bending under heavy thrust. Furthermore, the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centring, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
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 SGC160X500FB FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It delivers 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for magnetic sensing. It does, however, use a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures and accessories.
