Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X60
The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X60 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 60mm 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 SGC250X60
Delivering massive thrust in a compact 60 mm stroke, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty pressing and clamping. It generates 24543 N of push force and 23562 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for extreme rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because the 60 mm stroke is quite short for a 250 mm bore, the 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends easily tame the high kinetic energy of this massive piston.
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. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and therefore cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Furthermore, because this is a Ø250 bore, TPU seals are unavailable; the front-cover packing and buffer gasket utilize NBR instead, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C high-temperature environments. The unit features a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod-end thread.

Where the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X60 Is Used
Heavy Metal Stamping
Drives short-stroke stamping dies in automotive lines, utilizing the full 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa to form thick steel brackets.
Industrial Baling Presses
Crushes and compacts scrap materials in recycling facilities, where the 60 mm stroke delivers rapid, high-impact clamping against the bale chamber.
Injection Mold Clamping
Secures heavy injection mold halves in large plastic manufacturing machinery, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod construction to resist offset loads.
Is the Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 250 mm bore actuator, compare your actual load requirements against the neighboring SGC200 option, which provides 15708 N of push at 0.5 MPa, before stepping up to this model's 24543 N capacity. Since the SGC series maxes out at Ø250, you would need to gang multiple cylinders for any larger force demands. Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the end cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end and do not function as a locking brake. To suspend a load safely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit. Finally, if your application requires end-of-stroke signaling, select the -S magnet variant instead of this base model to enable sensor mounting.
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 SGC250X60 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, increasing to 34360 N push and 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, it uses standard ISO 15552 mounting interface dimensions for easy fixture integration, but because it is a plain double-acting cylinder, it will drift under load if air pressure is lost.
