Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500TC 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 SGC160X500TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore class, operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
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. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The default TPU seal handles -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C for high-heat environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500TC Is Used
Pallet Diversion
Uses the 500 mm stroke to push heavy timber pallets off a high-throughput packaging conveyor, relying on the 10053 N push force to overcome sliding friction.
Press Stamper
Provides steady downward clamping force for an aluminum stamping die, utilizing the steel tie-rod construction to maintain rigidity under 14074 N at 0.7 MPa.
Heavy Gate Actuator
Actuates a 400 kg industrial foundry safety gate horizontally, safely within the 512 kg vertical lift equivalent margin for this bore size.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X500TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore against the SGC family, stepping down to the 125 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to the 200 mm bore raises it to 15708 N. This model includes a TC trunnion mount, utilizing the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures.
Because the stroke is 500 mm, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads on large-bore applications. Additionally, the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not act as a brake. To hold a load vertically if air pressure drops, 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 SGC160X500TC FAQ
The 160 mm bore yields a push of 10053 N and a pull of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N and pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses a TC trunnion mount conforming to the ISO 15552 mounting interface for broad accessory compatibility.
