The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X630 is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 630mm 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 is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing the high rigidity needed to handle large-bore thrust, while a two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because this is a Ø250 bore, the front-cover packing and buffer gasket use NBR rather than TPU, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C high-temperature environments.
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 unit features a G1 air port, an M42x2.0 rod thread, and 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the payload smoothly. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.

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.
Drives large press dies over the 630 mm stroke, utilizing the 24543 N push force at 0.5 MPa to form thick steel plates.
Lifts heavy unit loads vertically, moving approximately 1251 kg payloads with a 2:1 safety margin while relying on external guides to prevent rod bending.
Secures large industrial molds using the 34360 N thrust available at 0.7 MPa, taking advantage of the rigid four-tie-rod construction.
When sizing this 250 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø200 model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 15708 N, whereas this SGC250X630 provides 24543 N and represents the largest standard option in the SGC family. Because the 630 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, you must account for rod-bending and side loads by incorporating external guide rails to support the payload and prevent premature seal wear.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends rather than locking it. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, if your application requires position sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead of this non-magnetic SKU.
Quick checklist
The SGC250X630 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. It uses a G1 air port, a Ø50 mm piston rod, and features 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Furthermore, the cylinder will drift if air is lost; the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For vertical load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
