The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X275S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 275mm 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 large-bore actuator handles heavy-duty positioning with ease. Built to ISO 15552 mounting-interface dimensions, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom brackets. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing high structural rigidity under heavy thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long mechanical life.
Equipped with a 275 mm stroke and a built-in piston magnet (-S), this unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for end-of-stroke detection. It uses a G1/2 air port and an M27x2.0 rod thread. 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.

Pushes heavy timber or steel pallets off a high-throughput main conveyor line using its 6136 N thrust and 275 mm travel.
Cycles horizontally to eject formed metal parts from a hydraulic press bed, relying on the steel tie-rod frame for rigidity.
Opens and closes heavy weighted sorting gates in a parcel distribution hub, using the -S magnet for position feedback.
When sizing this 125 mm bore against the rest of the SGC family, step down if your load is lighter to save air volume, or step up to the 160 mm bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need significantly more thrust. This 275 mm stroke falls well under the 1500 mm standard maximum, keeping side-load risks low, but always ensure rigid guidance on the driven payload to prevent rod bending. Because the base model is double-acting, it will drift and drop its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended or gravity-loaded applications.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 air port and generates a push force of 6136 N and a pull force of 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 8590 N and pull to 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it accepts standard ISO 15552 foot, flange, and trunnion brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
