Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900TC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900TC 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.

About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900TC
Delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is engineered 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. A two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. 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 160 mm bore unit features a 900 mm stroke, a G3/4 air port, and an M36x2.0 piston rod thread. It includes a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; choose an -S variant if position sensing is required. The default TPU seal handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with Viton H available for 0-150 C environments.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900TC Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line
Pushes heavy loaded pallets along a 900 mm transfer section using 10053 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the TC trunnion to accommodate frame misalignment.
Automated Warehousing
Extends 900 mm to index large storage containers within high-bay racking, utilizing the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain stability under high cyclic stress.
Press Ejection System
Ejects finished metal parts from a hydraulic press over a 900 mm span, using the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to safely brake the stroke at high speeds.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X900TC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, consider the neighboring SGC bores: the 125 mm option yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm generates 15708 N. This model includes a TC trunnion mount, utilizing the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures. Because the 900 mm stroke is exceptionally long, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and absorb side loads. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve centers; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and will not hold a load. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC160X900TC 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.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning the TC trunnion and other accessories match standard large-bore ISO 15552 fixtures perfectly.
