The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X60 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 60mm 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 actuator uses four steel tie rods to clamp its aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. The standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface means it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures and shares common accessories, while its 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 equates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This specific configuration features a 60 mm stroke, a Ø32 mm hard-chrome piston rod with an M27x2.0 thread, and a G1/2 air port. It relies on a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic 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 stamped metal parts from press dies using a fast 60 mm stroke, utilising the 6136 N push force to overcome die friction reliably.
Pushes heavy palletised goods off a main conveyor line onto a branch roller, handling the lateral load with robust tie-rod construction.
Acts as a high-strength stop gate at the end of a heavy-duty roller conveyor, halting 300 kg pallets before a wrapping station.
When sizing this 125 mm bore, moving down is not an option within the SGC family as it is the smallest available size. If you need more power, stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For holding a load vertically or preventing drift when air is lost or the valve is centred, remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts purely as an end-of-stroke buffer, never as a lock or brake; you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold position. Since this 60 mm stroke is quite short, side-load and rod-bending stresses are minimal compared to longer travels.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 air port and generates 6136 N push / 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N push / 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the SGC125X60-S variant for position sensing.
