The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X650S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 650mm 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 without flexing. The two-way piston seal retains an oil reservoir for continuous lubrication and long service life. Equipped with a G1 air port and a 50 mm piston rod, it operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for end-of-stroke detection. As a Ø250 bore model, it uses NBR front-cover packing and buffer gaskets rather than TPU, with a Viton H option available for 0-150 C high-temperature environments. Plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
Forms thick metal plates in an automotive line, utilizing the 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa to seat dies securely.
Raises and lowers heavy unit loads over 650 mm of travel, relying on the -S magnet to trigger load release sensors.
Holds large industrial molds shut against high pressure, using the rigid four tie-rod build to resist deflection.
When sizing this 250 mm bore actuator, compare it against the next size down: the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 250 mm model reaches 24543 N. Since 250 mm is the largest bore in the SGC family, moving beyond 5006 kgf theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa requires a custom or multi-cylinder solution. The 650 mm stroke demands external guide support to prevent rod bending and side-load damage under such high thrust.
The adjustable 60 mm air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near the stroke limits; they do not act as a brake. If the application must hold a vertical load when air pressure drops or the valve centers, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift. The built-in -S magnet allows seamless mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without extra hardware.
Quick checklist
This model has a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod thread. It generates 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 force of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. You can use standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion accessories, and the -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
