The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X150-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 150mm 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 tie-rod actuator handles about 3682 N of real work, which means roughly 313 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, and the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface. It uses a G1/2 port and an M27x2.0 rod thread.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 40 mm, giving a usable forward range of 110-150 mm while the retract end stays fixed. You can fine-tune the end position without physically changing the cylinder. The standard TPU seals offer long life, though a Viton H option extends the temperature range to 0-150 C. Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S variant enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

| 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 110-150 mm insertion depth for bearing presses without swapping the actuator, using the 40 mm external adjuster to hit the precise seat.
Adjust the extend endpoint on-site to match varying package widths on a sorting line, ensuring the 6136 N push force redirects loads accurately.
Fine-tune the lift height of a palletizing stop within the 40 mm window to accommodate different pallet thicknesses without re-plumbing the G1/2 air supply.
Size this 125 mm bore against the 160 mm option, which jumps to 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step down if lower force is acceptable. The adjustable stroke is ideal for sharing a single spare across multiple stroke variants or finalizing end positions during machine commissioning. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support position sensing. Always guide the rod end to prevent side loading, especially at strokes of 500 mm or more.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 6136 N push and 5734 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 8590 N push and 8028 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 125 mm bore cylinder uses a G1/2 port.
The nominal 150 mm stroke is the maximum. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 110-150 mm. The retract end is fixed. This mechanism sets the end position and is not a load lock; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load.
