Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160FTC
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160FTC 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 SGC125X160FTC
Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder brings serious thrust to large-bore automation. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 3682 N of real work, or roughly 313 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Built to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and uses an FTC trunnion accessory. The bore dictates a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without changing to a magnetized variant. Speeds run 30-500 mm/s, with a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160FTC Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Drives bearings into heavy housings using its 6136 N thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the rigid tie-rod frame to resist deflection.
Pallet Diverting
Pushes loaded pallets sideways at 30-500 mm/s, utilizing the FTC trunnion mount to handle arc movements smoothly.
Material Lift Gate
Raises and lowers heavy loading bay gates, safely managing the 313 kg vertical lift capacity calculated with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X160FTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, step down to a smaller bore if your load is lighter, or move up to the 160 mm bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. This 125 mm bore provides 8590 N at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, position sensing is unavailable unless you specify the -S option for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the end cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. At 160 mm stroke, side-load risks are low, but ensure the FTC trunnion mount allows free articulation to prevent rod binding.
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 SGC125X160FTC FAQ
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, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It is built with an ISO 15552 mounting interface for broad fixture compatibility, but you must select a magnetized variant if position sensing is required.
