Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160
The AirTAC SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160
Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning with a 160 mm stroke. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the structural rigidity needed to withstand large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal integrates an oil reservoir function to maintain lubrication for a long service life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing.
The G1/2 air port feeds the 32 mm chrome-plated carbon steel rod, and the unit relies on a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. You can select TPU seals for standard -20 to +70 C environments, or specify Viton H seals for 0-150 C high-temperature operations.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160 Is Used
Press Die Ejection
Ejects heavy formed metal parts from stamping presses using a 160 mm stroke, absorbing shock with its 40 mm adjustable air cushions.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a high-force stopper gate on heavy-duty pallet conveyors, utilizing 6136 N of push force to halt fully loaded pallets reliably.
Automated Clamping Arm
Secures large steel beams during robotic welding operations, providing the rigid clamping force required to prevent workpiece shifting.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 125 mm bore, compare it against its neighbors: stepping down is not an option within the SGC family as this is the smallest bore, while stepping up to the 160 mm bore significantly increases thrust to 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application strictly requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, as this base SKU cannot support them. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means you can reuse existing foot, flange, or trunnion fixtures.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts purely as an end-of-stroke buffer, never as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely in mid-stroke, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 SGC125X160 FAQ
The SGC125X160 generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 8590 N and the pull force is 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/2 air port and a 32 mm piston rod with an M27x2.0 thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You must order the -S variant (SGC125X160-S) if you require position sensing. Additionally, the tie-rod construction is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
