The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC200X170TC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 170mm stroke, G3/4 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 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life. Plan for about 9425 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift roughly 801 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
This 200 mm bore model uses a G3/4 air port and a Ø40 mm hard-chrome piston rod with an M36x2.0 thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing. The standard TPU seals operate from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends the thermal limit to 150 C for high-temperature 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.
Provides the 21991 N push force at 0.7 MPa required to actuate heavy forming presses and clamp large body panels securely during stamping operations.
Uses the TC trunnion mount to pivot heavy palletizing arms, leveraging the 15079 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to orient inbound freight loads efficiently.
Drives robust extraction arms on large injection molding machines, where the rigid tie-rod construction withstands repetitive high-impact extraction cycles.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 15708 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the adjacent bores: the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N, and the 250 mm bore offers 24543 N. The integrated TC trunnion mount suits pivoting mechanisms, but ensure your structure supports side loads, especially at the 170 mm stroke length. For longer strokes approaching 500 mm or more, add external guide rails to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered. The adjustable 50 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke limits; they do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 200 mm bore generates a push force of 15708 N and a pull force of 15079 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 21991 N and pull is 21110 N. The theoretical maximum force is 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This model features a G3/4 air port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet (-S option) and therefore cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. For position feedback, you would need the -S variant or external mechanical sensors. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop into existing large-bore fixtures.
