Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X90
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X90 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 90mm 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 SGC160X90
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 aluminum 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 and extended service life.
Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 6032 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a G3/4 air port and a 90 mm stroke, making it a compact yet powerful choice within the 160 mm bore class.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X90 Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably without an external hydraulic unit.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust 90 mm stroke blocking mechanism in high-throughput conveyor lines, halting loaded pallets weighing up to 500 kg before the packaging station.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures intermediate mold plates in large plastic injection machines, relying on the rigid four tie-rod construction to withstand repeated high-impact clamping cycles.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X90 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base model cannot support magnetic sensors. Furthermore, a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered—the adjustable 50 mm air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts purely as an end-of-stroke dampener, never as a holding brake. To suspend a load safely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 SGC160X90 FAQ
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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must purchase the -S variant to utilize CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The standard model is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
