The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X40H is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 40mm 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 125 mm bore tie-rod cylinder is built for hot environments. The H designation specifies a Viton (FKM) seal, extending the operating temperature range from -20 to +150 C. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, delivering the rigidity needed for high-impact automation.
As a genuine ISO 15552 unit, it matches standard mounting-interface dimensions for easy fixture integration. It uses a G1/2 port and a two-way piston seal that retains an oil reservoir for long service life. Plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG 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 aluminum parts from a 120 C stamping die, utilizing the Viton seals to withstand ambient radiant heat while delivering 6136 N of push force.
Acts as a secondary clamp on an injection molding line, holding a 40 mm stroke securely against mold halves near heated zones up to 150 C.
Diverts heavy rubber components on a conveyor exiting a curing oven, where standard TPU seals would fail but the Viton H option thrives.
Choosing this 125 mm bore makes sense when heat demands Viton but the 6136 N output at 0.5 MPa is sufficient. If you need less force, the SGC series does not offer a smaller bore, so consider alternative compact lines. If your application requires more power, step up to the 160 mm bore, which provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. The 40 mm stroke keeps the rod compact, minimizing side-load risks without requiring external guides.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, air controls motion in both directions, but it will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke; it does not function as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and generates 6136 N push / 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 8590 N push / 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need to specify the -S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
