The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC160X95S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 95mm 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 aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to maximize service life. Equipped with a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod, it operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Because the code includes an S, this unit has a built-in piston magnet ready for 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 temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this range to 0-150 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.
Drives bearings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 10053 N push force to seat components reliably without hydraulic fluid.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop in high-throughput conveyor lines, absorbing the impact of loaded pallets via its adjustable cushions.
Raises material handling platforms, safely lifting approximately 512 kg of payload with a 2:1 vertical safety margin.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, verify if the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa fits your application; stepping down to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N, while stepping up to the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. The 95 mm stroke is well under the 1500 mm maximum, so rod bending is minimal, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent side loads. Because this SKU features the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable 50 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
The SGC160X95S features a G3/4 air port and delivers a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 14074 N and the pull force is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures using LB, FA, or TC mounts. Additionally, the -S designation means it has a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches.
