Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 120mm stroke, G1 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.

About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA
Delivering 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore cylinder handles heavy industrial loads. It features a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping directly into existing large-bore fixtures and spares. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because this is a 250 mm bore, TPU seals are unavailable; the front-cover packing and buffer gasket use NBR instead, with a Viton H option for 0-150 C environments.
Plan for roughly 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit uses a G1 air port and a 50 mm rod with an M42x2.0 thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Provides the high 24543 N push force required to actuate large stamping dies and form heavy-gauge metal components.
Pallet Lifter Actuator
Lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, ideal for driving the main carriage in robust automated palletizing systems.
Injection Mold Clamp
Uses its rigid tie-rod construction and CA clevis to secure heavy injection molding halves during high-pressure resin injection.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 250 mm bore unit, there is no larger standard SGC option, so if 24543 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, you must add a mechanical advantage or use multiple cylinders. Stepping down to the 200 mm bore drops the push force to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. The included CA clevis mounting suits pivoting applications, but ensure your fixture matches the ISO 15552 interface dimensions. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the 60 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Long-stroke side load — support the rod end
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load; support long strokes at the rod end.
- check Set cushions to minimum, then release gradually.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X120CA FAQ
This 250 mm bore cylinder uses a G1 air port. It generates 24543 N push and 23562 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 34360 N push and 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing.
