Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500STC 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 SGC160X500STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-acting cylinder is built around a rigid tie-rod architecture where four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the end covers. The design incorporates a two-way piston seal that maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended operational life. Because it adheres to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it slots directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares standard accessory dimensions.
Equipped with a 500 mm stroke and a G3/4 air port, the unit integrates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, 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. The standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500STC Is Used
Automotive Press Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force required to actuate heavy forming presses and clamp large body panels during robotic welding cycles.
Palletizer Transfer Arms
Utilizes the 500 mm stroke and TC trunnion mount to index heavy palletized loads smoothly onto outbound conveyor lines.
Injection Mold Extraction
Leverages the 160 mm bore and internal magnet to drive large plastic parts out of heavy industrial molds with reliable position feedback.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500STC the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the 125 mm option (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 200 mm model (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa), giving you a clear upgrade path if your air supply limits thrust. The included TC trunnion mount suits pivoting loads, while the -S magnet enables electronic or reed position sensing. Because the 500 mm stroke is relatively long for a large-bore actuator, ensure adequate external guide support to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not function as a braking lock; for suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X500STC FAQ
This 160 mm bore model 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, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the tie-rod construction is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing you to use standard foot, flange, clevis, and trunnion accessories. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet designed to accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches.
