The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X800TC 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 is built for large-bore automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle heavy thrust without flexing. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. The unit uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 piston rod thread.
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. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant. The default TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this range up to 150 C for hot environments.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the extended 800 mm reach and 10053 N force needed to push heavy loaded pallets between adjacent conveyor sections in distribution centers.
Acts as a robust extraction and insertion actuator for automated storage systems, moving heavy totes deep into shelving racks with reliable 0.7 MPa thrust.
Ejects large metal or composite parts from hydraulic stamping presses, utilizing the full 800 mm stroke to clear the die area safely before the next cycle.
When sizing this 160 mm bore against the SGC family, dropping down to the Ø125 bore reduces thrust to 6136 N, whereas stepping up to the Ø200 bore increases push force to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this model features an 800 mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads during long extensions. The included TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, ensuring it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and accessory brackets.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a lock. To hold a load securely in place, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod thread. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the TC trunnion mount and tie-rod construction are dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it fits standard large-bore fixtures. However, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches without changing to a magnet-equipped version.
