The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC125X900S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 900mm 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 demanding large-bore tasks across its 900 mm travel. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to maximize service life. The G1/2 port and M27x2.0 rod thread match the standard 125 mm bore specification.
Because the code includes an -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is fitted for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, 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. The TPU seal handles -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 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.
Ejects heavy loaded pallets from a main conveyor line over 900 mm, utilizing the 6136 N thrust to overcome friction without stalling.
Actuates a 900 mm security or sorting gate in a distribution hub, safely moving structures weighing up to 313 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Clears large stamped metal parts from a hydraulic press bed, relying on the rigid tie-rod construction to maintain alignment during the 900 mm ejection stroke.
This 125 mm bore sits at the lower end of the SGC family; if less thrust is needed, a smaller non-SGC series would be required, but stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred—the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and will not hold a load, so specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety.
At 900 mm of travel, the Ø32 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide or stopper to prevent rod-end deflection and premature seal wear. The included -S magnet allows seamless sensor integration.
Quick checklist
The 125 mm bore provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 8590 N push and 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/2 air port and a 32 mm piston rod.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. You can use standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, and the -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
