The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X250H is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm 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.
Generating 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles large-bore automation tasks. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Because this SKU carries the H designation, it uses Viton seals to operate in environments up to 150 C instead of the standard -20 to 70 C range. The 125 mm bore specifies a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. Note that this base configuration lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

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.
Ejects dense molded parts from a hot stamping press, utilizing the Viton seal to withstand 150 C ambient radiant heat while pushing with 6136 N.
Pushes loaded pallets sideways onto a secondary packaging line, safely handling weights up to 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
Actuates heavy access doors on industrial curing ovens where standard TPU seals would fail, relying on the 250 mm stroke for full clearance.
When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, verify if the 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa provides enough thrust, or if stepping up to the 160 mm bore (10053 N) is necessary for heavier loads, as there is no smaller SGC bore below 125. For holding a suspended load during air loss or valve centering, remember this cylinder will drift; the end-of-stroke air cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. With the 250 mm stroke, guide the load to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear from side loads. To add sensing, switch to the -S variant for magnetic switch compatibility.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 8590 N push and 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s, accepts air filtered to 40 um, and has a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, fitting standard large-bore fixtures like LB foot or FA flange. However, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches without upgrading to the magnet-equipped variant.
