The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X20TC 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 on a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod platform. 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. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and accessories.
With a 20 mm stroke, 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. The bore dictates a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; order an -S variant if position detection is required.

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 6136 N of rapid clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold heavy steel stampings in place during secondary machining operations.
Acts as a high-force 20 mm stroke stop gate for heavy industrial pallets, absorbing kinetic energy using the adjustable air cushion.
Delivers a short, powerful 8590 N push at 0.7 MPa to break loose stubborn injection-molded composite parts from the tool cavity.
When sizing this actuator, the 125 mm bore is the entry point of the SGC large-frame family. If your application demands less force, you must step outside the SGC series, as there is no smaller bore offered. If you need significantly more thrust, the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a short 20 mm stroke, side-load bending stresses on the 32 mm rod are minimal, but ensure the front cover pivot or TC trunnion mounting handles the direct impact loads.
The adjustable 40 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke limits; they do not function as a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
The 125 mm bore generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 8590 N and pull is 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This model 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, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need to order the -S variant for magnetic sensing. Mechanically, it uses the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to interchange with standard TC trunnion, foot, or flange accessories.
