The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 800mm 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.
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy automation tasks across its 800 mm stroke. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
With a 160 mm bore, the unit uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. 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 operate from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C for high-temperature environments.

Moves heavy stampings along an 800 mm axis, utilising the 10053 N push force to shift panels between die stations.
Pushes empty or loaded pallets out of a magazine, where the steel tie-rod build absorbs the high inertial shocks.
Actuates a large diverter arm in a timber mill, relying on the ISO 15552 mounting interface for rigid fixture attachment.
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 air pressure fluctuates. The 800 mm stroke demands careful attention to side loads; always use an external guide or rod-end support to prevent rod bending during long extensions. Furthermore, standard air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end caps and do not function as a brake. If the machine loses air, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
The 160 mm bore generates 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 features a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG electronic switches, you must order the -S variant. Additionally, its ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures dimensional interchangeability with standard large-bore fixtures, and the four steel tie rods provide high rigidity for heavy-duty cycles.
