The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X155 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 155mm 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 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning with a 155 mm stroke. Its four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without redesign.
Plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The bore dictates a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread, operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Provides the 6136 N push force needed to eject heavy formed parts from a hydraulic press bed over a 155 mm travel distance.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop gate on a heavy-duty roller conveyor, securely halting loaded pallets before the wrapping station.
Supplies reliable clamping pressure for auxiliary mold holders, using its 155 mm stroke to lock mid-sized tooling inserts in place.
When sizing this 125 mm bore, stepping down is not an option within the SGC family as it is the smallest available size. If you need more power, the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For this 155 mm stroke, side-load risks are minimal, but always ensure rigid mounting using LB foot, FA/FB flange, or TC trunnion options to prevent rod bending. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, you must choose an external mechanical limit switch if your application requires end-of-stroke detection.
Remember that a standard cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the piston will drift. The adjustable 40 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the system.
Quick checklist
The SGC125X155 generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 8590 N push and 8028 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 125 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 air port and features a 32 mm piston rod with an M27x2.0 thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. To add position sensing, you would need the -S variant or rely on external mechanical switches. The cylinder features a tie-rod build and is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface for easy fixture integration.
