The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X600 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 600mm 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 ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles large-bore automation tasks with a 600 mm stroke. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing high rigidity while the 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 translates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The bore dictates a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread, operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. Standard TPU seals support a -20 to +70 C temperature range, though Viton H variants can extend this to 150 C.

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.
Pushes heavy loaded pallets sideways off a main conveyor line using its 600 mm reach and 6136 N of 0.5 MPa thrust.
Acts as a diverter arm in high-bay storage systems, relying on the rigid four-rod construction to withstand repetitive lateral impacts.
Drives a long-stroke ejection mechanism to clear large molded parts from a press, utilizing the 125 mm bore's 8590 N capability at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option within the SGC family as it is the smallest available size. If your application requires less force, you would need to look outside this series. Stepping up to the 160 mm bore increases the 0.5 MPa push force significantly to 10053 N, offering a robust upgrade if your 600 mm stroke demands greater thrust.
Because this model features a 600 mm stroke, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads during long extensions. Furthermore, this cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For suspended or vertical loads, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the adjustable 40 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end rather than locking it.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and delivers 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must choose the -S variant (SGC125X600-S) to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. Additionally, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
