The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X100-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 100mm 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 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 125 mm bore actuator brings precision end-position tuning to heavy pneumatic setups. The external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, meaning the nominal 100 mm travel serves purely as the maximum limit while the retract end remains fixed. It handles about 3682 N of safe working load, which translates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Built as a genuine ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder, four steel rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity. The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for electronic positioning, while the G1/2 port feeds the 32 mm rod. A two-way piston seal ensures reliable operation, and the standard TPU elastomer handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C, with a Viton H option extending heat resistance up to 150 C.

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.
Dial in the exact 50 to 100 mm extend contact point on a light-duty assembly press without swapping the entire actuator.
Adjust the extend stroke on-site to accommodate different package sizes as they move down a heavy-duty sorting line.
Fine-tune the stopping position of 300 kg pallets on a roller conveyor by shortening the extend travel up to 50 mm.
When sizing this bore, stepping down is not an option as 125 mm is the smallest in the SGCJ range, yielding 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 160 mm bore provides 10053 N if your application demands greater thrust. The 50 mm adjustable window is highly valuable for sharing a single spare cylinder across multiple stroke variants, as you can fine-tune the extend end position mechanically on-site without changing the unit. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 brackets. Because this unit carries the -S suffix, it arrives magnet-ready for sensors. Even at 100 mm travel, always guide the load to prevent side-load wear on the rod seals.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder pushes 6136 N and pulls 5734 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 8590 N and pulls 8028 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/2 air port and features a 32 mm piston rod.
The nominal 100 mm stroke is the maximum travel. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, giving a usable extend range of 50 to 100 mm. The retract end is fixed. This mechanism only sets the end position and does not lock the load; a separate rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
