The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X20STC is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 20mm 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 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles the heaviest automation tasks. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet, this variant supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. It features a 50 mm rod, a G1 air port, and a 60 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends. For real-world sizing, plan for about 14726 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that on this 250 mm bore, TPU seals are unavailable; the front-cover packing and buffer gasket are NBR, with a Viton H option 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.
Provides the 24543 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to drive heavy billets into a hydraulic stamping press.
Uses the 60 mm adjustable cushion to absorb kinetic energy when squaring 1251 kg pallet loads on a packaging line.
Generates up to 34360 N at 0.7 MPa to secure heavy injection molding tooling via the ISO 15552 TC trunnion mount.
This 250 mm bore sits at the top of the SGC range, offering 24543 N push at 0.5 MPa where the next size down (200 mm) provides 15708 N. If you need to hold a load vertically, remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as no lock. You must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure holding. The included TC trunnion mount and -S magnet ensure compatibility with ISO 15552 trunnion accessories and CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
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 of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. Because it is a 250 mm bore, TPU seals are not offered; it uses NBR front-cover packing and buffer gaskets, with a Viton H option for 0-150 C high-temperature environments.
