Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X550H
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X550H is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 550mm 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 SGC160X550H
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 160 mm bore cylinder is built for heavy automation. The SGC160X550H features a high-temperature Viton H seal option, extending the operating range from -20 to +70 C up to 0-150 C for demanding thermal environments. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because this 550 mm stroke SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread are fixed by the 160 mm bore. Plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60 percent of the rated push), which lifts about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X550H Is Used
Hot Stamp Press Ejection
Ejects heavy forged parts from a hot stamping press, utilizing the Viton H seals to withstand ambient radiant heat up to 150 C while applying 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Large Mold Clamping
Secures large injection molds during material injection, using the 550 mm stroke to clear the mold opening area and the rigid tie-rod construction to resist offset forces.
High-Temp Pallet Lift
Lifts 500 kg industrial pallets inside a heat-treat drying oven, where the 160 mm bore provides the necessary thrust and the H seal option survives the 150 C environment.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X550H the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, consider the adjacent SGC bores: the smaller 125 mm generates 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm provides 15708 N. This model carries the Viton H seal for 0-150 C high-temperature duty. Since air pressure alone cannot hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift; integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake.
With a 550 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod requires external guide support to prevent side-load bending and premature seal wear. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures, supporting LB foot, FA/FB flange, CA/CB clevis, or TC trunnion 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 SGC160X550H FAQ
The 160 mm bore provides a push force of 10053 N and a pull force 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. The air port size is G3/4.
No, the SGC160X550H lacks the -S suffix, meaning it has no internal piston magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must specify an -S variant for magnetic sensing. It is a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder, dimensionally interchangeable via the standard mounting interface.
