Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50S 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 SGC160X50S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks with ease. The 160 mm bore features a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 piston rod thread, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends. 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.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. 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. The default TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for environments up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50S Is Used
Heavy Press Clamping
Applies 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to secure thick steel plates in an automated stamping press before the hydraulic cycle begins.
Pallet Brake System
Uses the 50 mm stroke to rapidly extend a heavy stop block on a high-speed packaging conveyor, halting loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg.
Injection Mold Ejection
Delivers robust push force to eject dense automotive plastic components from an injection molding tool, relying on the 50 mm cushioned stroke.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore option, note the 125 mm version offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm step up provides 15708 N. This 50 mm stroke provides compact actuation for high-force clamping. Because the standard SGC is double-acting, it will drift if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the end cushions only decelerate the piston and do not act as a lock. To suspend a vertical load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without extra hardware.
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 SGC160X50S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and generates 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum 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. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position detection.
