Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600TC 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 SGC160X600TC
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, providing the high rigidity needed for large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 piston rod are standard for the 160 mm bore class.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For position feedback, you would need the -S variant. 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 -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600TC Is Used
Press Ejection
Uses the 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to eject formed metal parts from heavy stamping presses, absorbing end-of-stroke impact with the 50 mm adjustable air cushion.
Pallet Lift Gate
Raises loaded pallets via the TC trunnion pivot, safely handling the 512 kg vertical lift capacity calculated with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa.
Heavy Product Diversion
Pushes large automotive components across a conveyor belt using the 10053 N push force, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain alignment over the 600 mm extension.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X600TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore, compare your requirements against the adjacent SGC options: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model includes a TC trunnion mounting interface, allowing it to pivot within ISO 15552 standard fixtures. Because air pressure alone will not hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered—the piston drifts and the cushion only decelerates near stroke end—you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
With a 600 mm stroke, the Ø40 mm rod extends significantly, making it susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide or ensure the rod-end is properly supported to prevent premature seal wear and rod damage. The cylinder operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
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 SGC160X600TC 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. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You must select the -S variant (SGC160X600TC-S) if you require piston position sensing.
