About the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X560S
Delivering 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting large-bore tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. The SGC250X560S features a 250 mm bore, a 560 mm stroke, and a G1 air port. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir to ensure long service life. Because this is a Ø250 bore, TPU seals are not offered; instead, the front-cover packing and buffer gasket utilise NBR, with a Viton H high-temperature option available for 0 to 150 C environments.
This model includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct compatibility with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, dropping easily into existing large-bore fixtures.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X560S Is Used
Heavy Stamping Press
Provides the high 24543 N push force required to actuate large metal stamping dies and heavy-duty forming presses.
Palletiser Head
Lifts palletised goods weighing up to 1251 kg vertically, using the 560 mm stroke to clear conveyor boundaries safely.
Injection Mould Clamp
Secures large industrial mould halves with a 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa, utilising the rigid tie-rod construction.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X560S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 250 mm bore unit, the next size down is the 200 mm bore, which provides 15708 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. As 250 mm is the largest available SGC bore, applications requiring more than the 24543 N provided here will need a different cylinder series. Because the 560 mm stroke is substantial, external guides are strongly recommended to prevent rod bending and manage side loads during extension.
The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the adjustable 60 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not function as a brake. To hold a load securely mid-stroke, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 SGC250X560S FAQ
The SGC250X560S delivers a push force of 24543 N and a pull force of 23562 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 34360 N and the pull is 32986 N. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 250 mm bore cylinder uses a G1 air port, an M42x2.0 rod thread, and features 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches directly onto the barrel. Additionally, the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, meaning it fits standard large-bore accessories and foot, flange, or trunnion mounts without custom fabrication.
