The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X270S 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 tie-rod cylinder brings large-bore power to demanding automation. The SGC125X270S utilizes a robust four-steel-tie-rod construction that clamps the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under heavy thrust. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping seamlessly into existing large-bore fixtures. A heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for prolonged operational life.
Equipped with a 270 mm stroke and a G1/2 port, the unit operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. The trailing -S designates a built-in piston magnet, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for position sensing. 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.
Drives bearings into heavy housings on an automotive production line, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components reliably.
Acts as a robust 270 mm stroke actuator to raise and lower heavy pallet stopping mechanisms in high-throughput distribution centers.
Folds large corrugated carton flaps on a heavy-duty packaging conveyor, relying on the ISO 15552 mounting interface for rigid fixture integration.
When sizing this 125 mm bore option, compare it against its neighbors: the larger 160 mm bore yields 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while there is no smaller SGC bore below 125. This 270 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm? No, but for any extended stroke, always support the load with external guides to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can easily pair it with CMSG or DMSG sensors. Remember that standard air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and 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 means this model has a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly onto the barrel. Structurally, four steel tie rods clamp the assembly together, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing.
