The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X850TC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 850mm 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 heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication, ensuring a long service life.
With an 850 mm stroke and a G3/4 air port, 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. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, you can specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU.

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 consistent 10053 N push force required to actuate heavy stamping dies and form metal components in automated fabrication lines.
Utilizes its 850 mm stroke to push empty pallets from vertical magazines onto conveyor chains, handling the weight with robust tie-rod rigidity.
Shifts large weighted diverter gates on aggregate or bulk material conveyors, relying on the TC trunnion mount to handle pivot stresses.
When sizing this 160 mm bore unit, the smaller 125 mm SGC offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N, allowing you to step up or down if your load requirements shift. The integrated TC trunnion mount utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, guaranteeing dimensional interchangeability with existing large-bore fixtures and accessories.
Because the 850 mm stroke is quite long, provide external guide support to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads. Remember that the adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke limits; it is not a locking mechanism. If the application requires the load to be held during air loss or valve centering, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant (SGC160X850TC-S) to enable magnetic sensing.
