Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10
The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10
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 aluminium barrel for high structural rigidity. The G1/2 port feeds a double-acting single-rod mechanism with a 32 mm piston rod and M27x2.0 thread. It handles a safe working load of roughly 3682 N, which means you can vertically lift about 313 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The -10 code defines an external adjuster that lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 10 mm, dropping the usable forward travel from the 160 mm maximum down to 150 mm for fine-tuning the end position without swapping the cylinder. The retract end remains fixed, and adjustable 40 mm air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near the stroke limits. This plain SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant; for high-heat environments up to 150 C, specify the Viton H seal option.

Where the Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Use the 10 mm extend adjuster to micro-adjust the bottoming position of a 6136 N press fit operation without shimming the tooling.
Divertor Stop Adjustment
Fine-tune the extend stop on a conveyor divertor arm by up to 10 mm on-site to accommodate varying package sizes on the fly.
Pallet End Stop
Act as a robust pneumatic end stop for pallets, leveraging the fixed retract position and adjustable forward stroke to handle varied pallet depths.
Is the Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit against its neighbours, the 125 mm bore sits at the lower edge of the SGCJ family, offering 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa compared to the 10053 N available from the 160 mm bore; stepping up makes sense if your payload exceeds the 313 kg vertical lift threshold. The adjustable stroke is invaluable when you need to tune end positions on-site or want a single shared spare across multiple stroke variants. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 brackets, all conforming to the ISO 15552 mounting interface for fixture interchangeability. Because this 160 mm stroke is well under the 500 mm threshold, side-load guide requirements are minimal, but always ensure linear guidance for heavy offsets. Remember that this non-magnetic version cannot host position sensors.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Long-stroke side load — support the rod end
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load; support long strokes at the rod end.
- check Set cushions to minimum, then release gradually.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-10 FAQ
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 8590 N push and 8028 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, reducing the usable forward travel from the 160 mm maximum down to 150 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this mechanism only sets the end position; it does not lock the load, so you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
