Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X500SH
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X500SH is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 500mm 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 SGC250X500SH
Delivering massive thrust for heavy industry, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder generates 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for extreme structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. For practical sizing, plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Configured for harsh environments, the SGC250X500SH features a Viton H high-temperature seal rated for 0-150 C (note that TPU is not offered on the 250 mm bore; the front-cover packing is NBR). The built-in piston magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. It uses a G1 air port, an M42x2.0 rod thread, and a 60 mm adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb kinetic energy.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X500SH Is Used
Heavy Press Stamping
Provides the 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa needed to form thick steel plates in automated stamping presses.
Palletizer Elevation
Lifts heavy unit loads using the 500 mm stroke, relying on the built-in magnet for precise DMSG switch positioning.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures large industrial molds at high temperatures using the Viton H seal rated for 0-150 C environments.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X500SH the Right Cylinder?
As the largest bore in the SGC family, the 250 mm size is the series maximum; if your application requires less force, step down to the 200 mm bore which provides 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa. Because this is a 500 mm stroke, external guide support is critical to prevent rod bending and side-load damage under such high thrust. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or a valve centers—the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must 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 SGC250X500SH FAQ
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, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard large-bore fixtures. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
