The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC200X280S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 280mm 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 large-bore cylinder is built around a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, ensuring it drops seamlessly into existing heavy-duty fixtures. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the front and rear covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle massive thrust loads without flexing. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication, extending operational life in demanding industrial environments.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully primed for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, plan for about 9425 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 801 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The G3/4 air port and M36x2.0 rod thread supply the volume and mechanical strength required for high-cycle automation.

Pushes heavy stamped body panels out of forming dies using 15708 N of force at 0.5 MPa, relying on the rigid tie-rod frame to resist deflection during high-speed extraction.
Separates empty pallets from a magazine stack, where the 280 mm stroke provides the exact travel needed to kick the bottom pallet onto a transfer chain.
Acts as the primary motion driver for a heavy-duty press brake, utilizing the G3/4 port for rapid air filling to maintain throughput on thick steel plates.
When sizing this 200 mm bore actuator, compare your actual load against its neighbours: the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 250 mm bore jumps to 24543 N. If your mechanism experiences air loss or the valve is centred, the piston will drift downward—the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end points and acts purely as an end-of-stroke buffer, never as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
This 280 mm stroke variant operates efficiently within the 30-500 mm/s speed range. Although 280 mm is well under the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke, always verify that your guiding structure prevents side loads from bending the Ø40 mm piston rod. The included -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise end-position detection.
Quick checklist
The 200 mm bore generates 15708 N push and 15079 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 21991 N push and 21110 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and an M36x2.0 rod-end thread.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to use the same mounting accessories and fixtures as other standard ISO 15552 large-bore cylinders.
