Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X160
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X160 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 160mm stroke, G1 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 SGC250X160
Delivering massive thrust for heavy industry, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder pushes with 24543 N at 0.5 MPa. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for extreme rigidity under high loads, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Because this is a Ø250 bore, TPU is not available; instead, the front-cover packing and buffer gasket use NBR (with a Viton H option for 0-150 C high-temp environments). The unit features a G1 air port, an M42x2.0 rod-end thread, and a 60 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X160 Is Used
Press Die Stamping
Provides the 24543 N force at 0.5 MPa needed to actuate heavy forming presses and secure large sheet metal dies.
Palletizing Robot Clamp
Handles 1251 kg vertical loads with a 2:1 margin, ideal for gripping heavy unit loads in automated high-bay warehouses.
Injection Mold Actuation
Clamps large injection molding halves securely using its rigid four tie-rod construction and NBR front-cover packing.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 250 mm bore, compare its 24543 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller Ø200 bore, which provides 15708 N. As the largest SGC option, there is no larger standard bore available if you need more power. For any application requiring the piston to stay put when air is removed or the valve is centred, remember this cylinder will drift; the end cushions only decelerate motion near stroke ends, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, you must select a magnet-equipped variant if your fixture requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 SGC250X160 FAQ
The SGC250X160 pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 34360 N and pull is 32986 N. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod thread.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Dimensionally, it follows the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into the same large-bore fixtures and accessories as any standard ISO 15552 cylinder.
