The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC200X30 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø200mm bore and 30mm 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 200 mm bore double-acting actuator is engineered for heavy-duty short-stroke tasks. It features a robust tie-rod construction where four steel rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under intense thrust. The two-way piston seal incorporates an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and extended service life. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept magnetic position switches; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
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 cylinder operates at 30-500 mm/s, uses a G3/4 air port, and carries an M36x2.0 rod thread. Standard TPU seals handle temperatures from -20 to +70 C, while Viton H options extend this to 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.
Uses the 30 mm short stroke and 15708 N push force to rapidly eject thick metal blanks from a heavy stamping die.
Secures large workpieces in a hydraulic press fixture, utilizing the rigid four tie-rod build to withstand high impact loads.
Actuates a heavy-duty mechanical latch on industrial furnace doors, benefiting from the 3204 kgf maximum theoretical holding capacity.
When sizing this 200 mm bore unit, verify if the 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, or if the larger 250 mm bore (offering 24543 N) is required for heavier loads. If your application is lighter, the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N and might be a more efficient choice. This model has a very short 30 mm stroke, which minimizes rod-bending risks, but always ensure the load is guided to prevent side-loading. Since this specific SKU has no internal magnet, it cannot host CMSG or DMSG sensors; choose an SGC200X30-S if electronic position feedback is needed. Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake; for holding a load vertically, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
The SGC200X30 delivers a push force of 15708 N and a pull force of 15079 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 21991 N and the pull is 21110 N. The theoretical maximum force is 3204 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and features an M36x2.0 rod thread.
This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you would need the SGC200X30-S variant for sensing. Additionally, the double-acting design does not hold position if air pressure is lost, as the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke rather than locking it. Use an external rod lock for secure load holding.
