The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X200STC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 200mm 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 brings serious power to automated lines. The Ø125 mm bore is structurally secured by four steel tie rods that clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under heavy thrust. Because it adheres to the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without alignment headaches.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position detection. The two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended seal life. For practical sizing, plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a G1/2 air port and a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly.

Actuates heavy-duty routing gates on 1500 mm conveyor lines, using the 6136 N thrust to push fully loaded pallets onto secondary packaging tracks.
Ejects dense stamped metal parts from a 200-ton press bed, relying on the 40 mm adjustable air cushions to soften the impact at the end of the 200 mm extension.
Raises and lowers a 280 kg mezzanine safety gate, fitting well within the 313 kg vertical lift capacity calculated with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this unit, consider the neighboring bores: stepping down is not an option within the SGC family as 125 mm is the smallest, while moving up to the Ø160 bore increases the 0.5 MPa push force significantly to 10053 N. This specific SKU includes a TC trunnion mount, which pairs with the ISO 15552 interface to handle pivoting loads, and the -S magnet enables electronic position sensing. At a 200 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent rod bending.
Remember that a standard pneumatic cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The integrated air cushions only serve to decelerate the rod near the stroke ends, acting as a buffer rather than a mechanical brake. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This Ø125 mm bore model features a G1/2 air port and a M27x2.0 rod thread. It generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 8590 N and the pull to 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. Furthermore, its tie-rod construction conforms strictly to ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions, allowing it to use standard TC trunnion, LB foot, or FA flange accessories without modification.
