The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X125-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 125mm 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.
Generating 6136 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, this Ø125 mm ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder brings heavy-duty force to applications needing exact end-position control. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers, while the G1/2 port delivers the required air volume. Because it carries the standard SGC single-rod force profile, it handles about 3682 N of safe working load, which is roughly 313 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The -30 code defines a 30 mm external adjuster window, letting you shorten the extend stroke on-site from the 125 mm maximum down to 95 mm without changing the physical mount. The retract end remains fixed. This SKU includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the default TPU seals offer long life. For high-heat environments up to 150 C, Viton H seals are available.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Use the 30 mm extend adjuster to precisely set the bottoming position for pressing bearings without remachining fixture stops.
Fine-tune the extend reach on a sorting diverter to accommodate varying package widths on the fly.
Adjust the extend stroke on-site to set exact pallet stop locations without needing multiple cylinder lengths.
When sizing this model, stepping down is not an option as Ø125 is the smallest large-bore SGCJ tier; stepping up to Ø160 raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 10053 N. The 30 mm adjustable window is highly useful when you want a shared spare across slightly different stroke variants or need to fine-tune the extend end position on the factory floor. SGCJ mounting choices include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The integrated -S magnet supports position sensing. Since the 125 mm stroke is well under the 500 mm threshold, side-load guide requirements are minimal, but always ensure linear motion guidance for optimal seal life.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 8590 N push and 8028 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G1/2.
The nominal 125 mm stroke is the maximum. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 30 mm, giving a usable extend range of 95 to 125 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this mechanism only sets the end position; it does not lock the load.
