The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X175-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 175mm 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 high structural rigidity. The G1/2 port feeds a 32 mm piston rod threaded M27x2.0, operating at 30-500 mm/s with 40 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends. It handles a safe working load of about 3682 N, which means you can vertically lift roughly 313 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The -20 code defines an external adjuster that lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm, giving a usable extend range of 155-175 mm while the retract end stays fixed. You can fine-tune the end position without physically swapping the cylinder, and the body is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface. The default TPU seals offer long life, though a Viton H option extends the temperature range up to 150 C. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

| 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 155-175 mm extend position for seating bearings without remounting the entire actuator.
Adjust the stop gate height on-site by up to 20 mm to accommodate different product sizes on the line.
Fine-tune the push-off distance for pallets of varying widths while maintaining 6136 N of thrust.
When sizing this 125 mm bore, stepping down is not an option as it is the smallest in the SGCJ family, but stepping up to the 160 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force from 6136 N to 10053 N. The 20 mm adjustable window is ideal for sharing a single spare across multiple stroke variants or dialing in final end positions on-site. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, you cannot mount position sensors; you would need the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For this 175 mm stroke, standard guide rails should handle any side-load, but always support the rod end on 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 provides 8590 N push and 8028 N pull. The theoretical max force is 1251 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is G1/2.
The external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm, giving a usable extend range of 155-175 mm from the 175 mm nominal maximum. The retract end remains fixed. This mechanism sets the end position and does not hold the load; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to prevent drift on air loss.
