The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X60STC 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 brings serious power to compact 60 mm strokes. The Ø125 mm bore features a G1/2 air port, an M27x2.0 rod thread, and a 40 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to smooth out stops. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, giving the assembly high rigidity while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures.
Because the code includes an S, this variant carries a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For real-world sizing, plan for about 3682 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The default TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C for hot environments.

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.
Drives small bushings or bearings into automotive housings, using the 60 mm stroke to cycle quickly without over-traveling.
Pushes heavy pallets onto a secondary packaging line, relying on the TC trunnion mount to pivot smoothly during the transfer.
Secures large workpieces in a CNC machining fixture, using the built-in magnet to confirm clamp engagement to the PLC.
This 125 mm bore sits at the entry point of the SGC large-frame family, so if 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive for your cycle, stepping down requires looking outside the SGC range. If you need more power, the next size up is the 160 mm bore, which jumps to 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The TC trunnion mount specified here allows pivoting center-line support, ideal for articulating mechanisms. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a lock. To hold a suspended load safely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 8590 N push and 8028 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 125 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 air port and operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Yes, the S in the model code indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches directly to the barrel. The body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so standard foot, flange, clevis, and trunnion accessories fit perfectly.
