The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X600H is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 600mm 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 large-bore cylinder pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N at 0.5 MPa. Built on a genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures without custom bracketry. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle these extreme forces, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life.
Because this specific SKU carries the H designation, it uses Viton FKM seals rated for 0-150 C high-temperature environments instead of standard TPU (which is not offered on the 250 bore). Plan for roughly 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The G1 air port, M42x2.0 rod thread, and 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends manage the pneumatic flow for smooth operation across the 600 mm travel.

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.
Handles heavy stamping blanks and moves large dies into hydraulic presses, utilising the 24543 N push force to shift substantial mass in high-heat environments.
Leverages the Viton H high-temperature seals to operate reliably near hot casting lines, shifting heavy sand moulds across the 600 mm stroke without degrading.
Drives the main lifting carriage for heavy unit loads, moving approximately 1251 kg of palletised goods vertically with a safe 2:1 working margin.
When sizing this 250 mm bore unit, compare your actual load against its 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa. If your application is lighter, the next size down is the 200 bore delivering 15708 N at 0.5 MPa; as 250 is the largest in the SGC series, exceeding this capacity requires multiple cylinders or a different mechanism. Note that this specific model lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing—you will need external mechanical limit switches. Furthermore, because this is a 600 mm stroke, the extended 50 mm rod is highly susceptible to bending under lateral stress; always use an external guide or stopper to prevent side-loading and premature seal failure. Finally, remember the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake; if the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to suspend loads safely.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 34360 N and the pull is 32986 N, with a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 250 mm bore, a 600 mm stroke, a G1 air port, an M42x2.0 rod thread, and 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must use external mechanical limit switches. However, the H designation means it is equipped with Viton FKM seals, allowing operation in environments up to 150 C. It is built with a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod mounting interface for easy fixture integration.
