The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X175S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 175mm 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.
Delivering massive thrust for heavy industry, the AirTAC SGC250X175S pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N at 0.5 MPa. This double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses four steel rods to clamp its aluminium barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under extreme loads while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. The built-in -S piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Because of its G1 port and 50 mm rod, this 250 mm bore unit is built for high-flow, heavy-duty cycles. Plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that TPU seals are unavailable for this bore; the front-cover packing and buffer gasket utilize NBR instead, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C 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.
Generates 34360 N at 0.7 MPa to break loose stubborn rubber or composite parts from large injection mold bases.
Provides the raw push force needed to elevate 1251 kg material loads vertically in automated warehouse retrieval systems.
Drives heavy-gauge steel blanks into forming dies using its 50 mm rod and rigid tie-rod assembly to resist deflection.
Choosing this 175 mm stroke model means sizing around its substantial output. If 24543 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, the next size down is the 200 mm bore delivering 15708 N push; stepping up is impossible as 250 mm is the largest SGC option. For any application requiring the piston to remain locked mid-stroke or during air loss, remember the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the rod near the ends and does not act as a brake. You must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
The -S magnet on this SKU enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG electronic or reed sensors. With a 175 mm stroke, side-load risks are moderate, but always ensure rigid mounting using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets to prevent rod bending.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 34360 N and pull is 32986 N. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port, a 50 mm piston rod, and an M42x2.0 rod thread.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard large-bore fixtures and supports LB, FA, CA, and TC mounts. The included -S magnet allows you to attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly to the barrel.
