The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X200TC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 200mm 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, this double-acting tie-rod cylinder generates 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It utilizes the standardized ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to drop directly into existing large-bore fixtures and accessory setups. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under extreme loads, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because this is a 250 mm bore unit, the front-cover packing and buffer gasket use NBR rather than TPU, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C high-temperature environments. Plan for approximately 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The unit features a 50 mm rod, a G1 air port, and a 60 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly.

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 24543 N push force required to clamp and feed thick steel plates into a mechanical stamping press.
Uses the TC trunnion mount to actuate a heavy pivoting arm, lifting 1251 kg pallet loads vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.
Handles the rugged extraction of large molded parts from heavy machinery using the rigid four-tie-rod construction.
When sizing this 250 mm bore unit, verify if the 200 mm stroke provides the required motion, as the next size down (200 mm bore) offers 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 250 mm bore is the largest available in the SGC series at 24543 N. The integrated TC trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting loads, but ensure your structure handles the side loads. Since this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; add the -S option if sensing is required.
Remember that a standard cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift and the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent falling.
Quick checklist
This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod thread. It delivers 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 force of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches without upgrading to the -S variant. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, allowing it to use standard TC trunnion and other ISO 15552 accessories without claiming brand equivalence.
