Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50SH
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50SH 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 SGC160X50SH
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because it uses the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesigning your machine plates.
The SH configuration equips this Ø160 mm bore unit with a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and a Viton (FKM) seal rated for 0-150 C environments. With its 50 mm stroke and G3/4 port, plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact, though they do not lock the rod in place.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50SH Is Used
Injection Molding Extraction
Handles hot plastic parts exiting a mold using the Viton high-temperature seal, leveraging the 10053 N push force to reliably extract heavy components.
Metal Stamping Feed
Pushes heavy gauge steel blanks into a press, using the rigid four-rod construction to maintain alignment and absorb high side-shock during rapid 50 mm strokes.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopping barrier for loaded pallets on a conveyor, utilizing the 9425 N pull force to retract the gate and release the pallet downstream.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X50SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore model, verify your actual load requirements against its neighbors: the smaller Ø125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø200 bore offers 15708 N. If your assembly demands position holding upon air loss, remember this standard cylinder will drift; you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and act purely as end-of-travel buffers. The integrated magnet (-S) allows seamless mounting of position sensors along the extrusion.
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 SGC160X50SH FAQ
This Ø160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a Ø40 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 of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, fitting standard foot, flange, and trunnion accessories. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, while the Viton H seal allows operation up to 150 C.
