The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900SH is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 900mm 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 large-bore 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 mechanical life. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread match the 160 mm bore class, and the 900 mm stroke operates at 30-500 mm/s.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet and -H Viton seal, it supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG position switches and survives 0-150 C high-temperature environments. 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.

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.
Pushes heavy stamping blanks into hydraulic presses, utilizing the 14074 N push force at 0.7 MPa to overcome initial material resistance.
Diverts overloaded pallets on a packaging line, where the Viton H seal survives 0-150 C ambient heat near drying ovens.
Raises and lowers a 500 kg vertical gate over 900 mm, guided by external rails to prevent rod bending during transit.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, compare it against its neighbors: the smaller 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model fits applications needing moderate-to-high thrust without stepping up to the 200 mm footprint. Since the 900 mm stroke is quite long, you must use external guide rails to prevent rod bending and side-load damage.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 160 mm bore provides 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 of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port, an M36x2.0 rod thread, and has a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops into the same fixture hole patterns as any standard ISO 15552 large-bore cylinder.
