The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X270 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 270mm 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 handles heavy-duty automation tasks with ease. The SGC125X270 features a 125 mm bore, a 270 mm stroke, and a G1/2 air port. It is built with a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures and standard accessory kits without redesign.
Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing high structural rigidity under large-bore thrust. The internal two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; position sensing requires external limit switches or upgrading to the -S variant. For practical sizing, plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 the 6136 N push force needed to eject formed metal parts from heavy stamping presses, utilizing the 270 mm stroke to clear the die area completely.
Actuates heavy diverter gates on high-throughput packaging lines, where the ISO 15552 mounting interface allows straightforward replacement of legacy cylinders.
Secures large welded frames during machining operations, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod construction to maintain stability under fluctuating loads.
When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, compare your actual load against its 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands less power, there is no smaller SGC bore available, so a different series would be required; if you need more thrust, stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. Since this model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host magnetic sensors, so verify your detection method. At a 270 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent rod bending. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke; for suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The SGC125X270 has a G1/2 air port. 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 force is 8590 N and the pull force is 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches without upgrading to an -S variant. Structurally, the four steel tie rods clamp the assembly together, ensuring high rigidity and making the body dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface for easy fixture integration.
