Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X560S
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X560S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 560mm 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 SGC160X560S
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder is built around the ISO 15552 mounting interface for direct fixture and accessory interchangeability. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity needed for heavy thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. A G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle the air volume and mechanical linkage for this 160 mm bore.
Because the code ends in -S, a built-in piston magnet is included, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches. 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 standard TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X560S Is Used
Automated Press Stamping
Provides the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa required to actuate heavy stamping dies and form metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Pallet Dispenser Ejection
Uses the 560 mm stroke to push empty pallets into positioning conveyors, with the -S magnet confirming ejection completion via DMSG sensors.
Heavy Material Lowering
Lowers heavy automotive subframes weighing up to 512 kg with a 2:1 margin, relying on external guides to manage the long 560 mm rod extension.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X560S the Right Cylinder?
This 160 mm bore sits between the SGC125 (6136 N push @0.5 MPa) and the SGC200 (15708 N push @0.5 MPa), giving you a clear upgrade path if your pressure requirements shift. At a 560 mm stroke, the extended 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads, so an external guide or rod-end support is strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, but they do not lock the load; if air is lost or the valve is centred, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding.
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 SGC160X560S FAQ
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push / 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push / 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 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 foot, flange, and trunnion fixtures. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
