Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X60
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X60 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 60mm 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 SGC160X60
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 aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. 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.
This 160 mm bore model features a 40 mm piston rod, a G3/4 air port, and an M36x2.0 rod-end thread. It uses a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke limits. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; position sensing must be handled externally.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X60 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives heavy bearings into automotive housings on an assembly line, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust physical stop barrier for loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg, using the short 60 mm stroke to cycle quickly in conveyor zones.
Heavy Carton Flap Folder
Folds thick cardboard flaps on industrial bulk packaging machines, where the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes material stiffness.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 60 mm stroke unit, consider the neighbouring SGC bores to match your exact force requirements. Stepping down to the 125 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while moving up to the 200 mm bore increases it significantly to 15708 N. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures the cylinder drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures using LB foot, FA/FB flange, or TC trunnion attachments.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered, as the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as an end-of-stroke buffer. If your application requires the load to be held securely in place during an air loss event, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
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 SGC160X60 FAQ
The SGC160X60 delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 14074 N and the pull force is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 160 mm bore model uses a G3/4 air port.
Yes, the tie-rod construction is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into standard LB, FA, FB, or TC mounting hardware. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.
