Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-20S
The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-20S 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 SGCJ125X160-20S
Delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder integrates a built-in magnet for position sensing. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel securely to the covers, while the G1/2 port matches the 125 mm bore standard. A safe working load sits around 3682 N, capable of lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm, meaning the usable extend range is 140-160 mm without changing the cylinder itself. The retract end remains fixed, and the stop simply sets the end position rather than locking the load. It carries a standard TPU seal rated for -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends this to 0-150 C.

Where the Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-20S Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Micro-adjust the 20 mm extend window on-site to dial in the exact insertion depth for bearing press fits without swapping cylinders.
Transfer Diverter
Sets a precise stop position to deflect heavy packages on a conveyor, using the CMSG sensors to confirm the extend state.
Pallet Stop Gate
Acts as a robust 125 mm bore stop gate for heavy pallets, shortening the stroke as needed to clear varying load heights.
Is the Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X160-20S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, the neighboring 160 mm bore jumps to 10053 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while dropping below 125 mm exits this large-bore family. The adjustable stroke is highly useful when you need fine end-position tuning on-site or want a single spare across slightly different stroke variants. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For any stroke at or above 500 mm, always use a guide to prevent side-load damage.
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 SGCJ125X160-20S FAQ
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. The air port is G1/2.
The 160 mm nominal stroke is the maximum. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 140-160 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this stop is for positioning only, not load holding.
