The AirTAC SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X15 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 15mm stroke, G1/2 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 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder handles short-travel clamping and ejecting with precision. The SGC125X15 is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it drops directly into standardized large-bore fixtures without redesigning your tooling. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to withstand heavy thrust loads.
The bore dictates a G1/2 air port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

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.
Provides 6136 N of immediate clamping force to hold thick steel plates in place during a hydraulic stamping press cycle.
Uses the short 15 mm stroke to rapidly eject dense formed parts from a die before the automated extraction arm enters.
Secures heavy injection molding halved tools together with high thrust, utilizing the rigid four tie-rod build to resist deflection.
Choosing this 125 mm bore makes sense when you need intense force in a tiny 15 mm travel distance. If your application requires less force, there is no smaller SGC bore available, so you would need to look at a different cylinder family entirely. Stepping up to the SGC160X15 raises the 0.5 MPa push force significantly to 10053 N. Since this is a non-magnetized SKU, you must use external mechanical limit switches for end-of-stroke detection. Furthermore, a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held securely.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 air port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. It generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push and 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, you must select the SGC125X15-S variant or rely on external mechanical sensors.
