Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800STC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800STC 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.

About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800STC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with ease. 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 port and M36x2.0 rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections for large-bore operations.
Because the SKU includes the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for about 6032 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The default TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option available for environments up to 150 C.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800STC Is Used
Heavy Pallet Lifting
Raises loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg in automated distribution hubs, utilizing the 10053 N push force and 800 mm stroke to elevate goods to conveyor transfer height.
Press Ejection Systems
Ejects formed metal parts from large stamping presses, relying on the 50 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the 160 mm piston smoothly over the long 800 mm travel.
Automated Storage Retrieval
Drives vertical extraction arms in automated storage and retrieval systems, using the -S magnet and DMSG switches to confirm telescopic arm positioning at extreme stroke limits.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800STC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, compare your actual load against the 10053 N push rating at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the smaller SGC125 bore offers 6136 N; if your application requires more power, stepping up to the SGC200 provides 15708 N. This model features the TC trunnion mount, which integrates seamlessly with ISO 15552 interface accessories for pivoting installations.
At an 800 mm stroke, large-bore cylinders face significant rod-bending stresses under side loads. Always use an external guide or stopper to prevent rod damage and premature seal wear. Additionally, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held in place during an outage.
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 SGC160X800STC 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.
No, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, and the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end without acting as a lock. To maintain vertical position during an outage, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
