The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X140-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 140mm 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 large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder uses four steel rods to clamp its aluminum barrel for heavy-duty rigidity. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for exact position sensing, while the G1/2 port manages the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, meaning usable extend travel is 90-140 mm without changing the cylinder itself. This on-site end-position tuning yields a safe working load of about 3682 N, or roughly 313 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. The retract end remains fixed, and the adjustable air cushions at both ends purely decelerate the piston rather than holding the load.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
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.
Dial in the exact 90-140 mm extend position on-site to seat bearings without overstressing the fixture.
Adjust the extend stroke by up to 50 mm to alter the diversion angle for changing package sizes.
Use the CMSG sensor and the external stop screw to set precise pallet push-off distances.
When sizing this 125 mm bore, the neighbouring 160 mm bore jumps to 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping down drops you out of the large-bore ISO 15552 class entirely. The 50 mm adjustable window is highly useful when you need to fine-tune end positions across multiple shared spares or dial in a precise stop. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix means the magnet is already present for sensors. Because the nominal stroke is only 140 mm, side-load guide requirements are minimal compared to longer strokes.
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 nominal 140 mm extend stroke is the maximum. An external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, giving a usable extend range of 90-140 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this stop mechanism does not hold the load without live air.
