The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X85 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 85mm 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 160 mm bore cylinder is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface for seamless fixture integration. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. With a 40 mm rod and a G3/4 port, it moves efficiently at 30-500 mm/s.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or 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 standard TPU seals handle -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends heat resistance up to 150 C.

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 robust 10053 N push force required to eject heavy stampings from a 160-ton press bed.
Acts as a heavy-duty pneumatic stop in high-throughput conveyor lines, halting fully loaded pallets securely.
Supplies reliable clamping pressure for large injection molding tools, utilizing its rigid tie-rod construction.
When sizing this 85 mm stroke unit against the SGC family, dropping down to the 125 mm bore reduces thrust to 6136 N, whereas stepping up to the 200 mm bore increases it to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Since this configuration has no -S magnet, you must select the SGC160X85-S variant if your application requires magnetic sensing. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end, but they do not function as a lock; if air is lost, the load will drift. To hold a suspended load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The SGC160X85 delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must purchase the -S variant (SGC160X85-S) to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. The ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures it drops into existing large-bore fixtures.
