The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X60S 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 cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The SGC125X60S utilizes a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures and standard accessory kits without modification. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large thrust loads, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for extended operational life.
Because this 125 mm bore variant includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. The G1/2 port and 60 mm stroke make it ideal for short, high-power movements. Plan for about 3682 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Drives a 60 mm rapid stroke to seat steel bushings into heavy machinery housings, utilizing the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa for reliable insertion.
Actuates a heavy-duty routing gate on a packaging line, using the integrated magnet for precise mid-stroke signaling to CMSG sensors.
Raises and lowers a 300 kg loading platform in a distribution center, safely operating within the 313 kg vertical lift margin at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing this actuator, verify your motion requirements against its 6136 N push and 5734 N pull ratings at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands less force, stepping down to a smaller bore may optimize air consumption; conversely, heavier loads would require stepping up to the 160 mm bore, which provides 10053 N of push at the same pressure. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
The 60 mm stroke is well below the 500 mm threshold, so side-load and rod-bending stresses are minimal, but you should still align your load precisely to maximize seal life. This SKU includes the -S magnet, making it fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, CA clevis, or TC trunnion brackets to fit your frame.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 air 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.
Yes, the SGC125X60S is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it accepts standard ISO 15552 large-bore fixtures and accessories. Additionally, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing the use of CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position detection.
