The AirTAC Airtac SGCD Dual Rod Cylinder SGCD125X250S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm stroke, G1/2 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 5734 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses a twin-rod architecture to completely balance the load path. A rod exits both ends, meaning the working area is identical on the extend and retract faces. This makes it good for about 3440 N of real work, roughly 292 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers, and the G1/2 port matches the 125 mm bore standard.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this SKU is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The symmetric twin-rod layout prevents piston rotation and allows you to drive a tool from the back end simultaneously. Standard adjustable air cushions decelerate the 250 mm stroke, but note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.

| Pressure | Force (both ways) | — |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 5734 N | 5734 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8027 N | 8027 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
Double-rod: the rod passes through both covers, so output force is equal in both directions.

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 a primary workpiece from the front face while actuating a secondary sensor cam from the rear rod simultaneously.
Uses the dual-rod symmetric layout to press components without piston twist, ensuring perfectly perpendicular force application.
Pushes product from both ends of the stroke path to align materials on a high-speed packaging line with equal force.
If you need less thrust, step down to the SGCD160 bore which provides 9425 N at 0.5 MPa; if your application requires more power, the SGCD200 offers 15079 N. Choose this 125 mm double-rod model when your mechanism demands anti-rotation guidance, symmetric load distribution, or twin tooling driven from both ends. It supports FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 mounts via the ISO 15552 mounting interface. The included -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensing. For this 250 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails carry any lateral side-load to prevent seal wear.
Quick checklist
The double-rod design yields equal force in both directions: 5734 N at 0.5 MPa and 8028 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum is 1169 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It never quotes a larger single-rod push value because the piston area is identical on both faces.
The S indicates a built-in piston magnet for position detection. You can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or electronic switches directly to the cylinder body. A non-S SKU lacks this magnet and cannot accept these sensors.
