The AirTAC SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X20 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 20mm 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 is built for short-stroke heavy clamping. The SGC125X20 features a 125 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke, utilizing a robust tie-rod construction where four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping easily into standard large-bore fixtures.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors. The G1/2 port and M27x2.0 rod thread supply ample flow, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.

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 intense 6136 N clamping thrust in a tight 20 mm stroke for securing thick metal plates during stamping operations.
Uses the robust tie-rod build to absorb high shock loads when ejecting dense plastic parts from molds in a confined space.
Applies steady 0.5 MPa holding force to lock heavy steel beams in place for automated pneumatic riveting machinery.
As the smallest bore in the SGC family, the 125 mm size offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, you must step outside the SGC series, but if you need more power, the next size up is the 160 mm bore delivering 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. This 20 mm stroke is ideal for compact pressing, but remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve is centered; the end cushions only decelerate the piston and do not act as a brake, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.
Quick checklist
The SGC125X20 delivers 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 8590 N push and 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a G1/2 air port and a 32 mm piston rod.
No, because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the SGC125X20-S variant for position sensing.
