Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600STC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 600mm 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 SGC160X600STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 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. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 piston rod thread match the 160 mm bore class. Equipped with a -S piston magnet, it directly 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 seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H options available for 0-150 C environments. Adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston smoothly near stroke end.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600STC Is Used
Automotive Press Loading
Pushes heavy stamping blanks into forming dies, utilizing the 10053 N thrust and 600 mm stroke to feed sheet metal deep into large press beds.
Pallet Dispenser Mechanism
Actuates stacked pallets in high-throughput packaging lines, relying on the TC trunnion mount to accommodate the pivot arc of the lifting frame.
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives large mold ejection plates where the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts heavy tooling cores safely over the extended 600 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600STC 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 change. The included TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, ensuring compatibility with standard large-bore fixtures and accessories. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can easily mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
With a 600 mm stroke, the extended rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress; always use an external guide or load-bearing rail to prevent side-loading damage. Remember that a standard cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushions only decelerate the piston and do not function as a braking lock. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
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 SGC160X600STC 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 double-acting piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only serve to decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, not to lock the load. An external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for secure load holding.
