The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X175-40S 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 features a 125 mm bore and a G1/2 air port. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, and the genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. Because this is an SGCJ variant, an external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 40 mm, meaning your usable extend range is 135 to 175 mm while the retract end remains fixed.
The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position sensing. In practical terms, it handles a safe working load of about 3682 N, which translates to lifting roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Standard TPU seals provide long life across -20 to +70 C, though a Viton H option extends that range to 0-150 C for high-heat environments.

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.
Use the 40 mm extend window to micro-adjust the bottoming force and depth of a press fit operation without changing the fixture height.
Adjust the extend stroke on the fly to act as a movable stop for different package lengths arriving on a sorting line.
Lift loads up to 313 kg vertically and fine-tune the upper end position to accommodate varying pallet stack heights.
When sizing this unit, the neighboring 160 mm bore steps up significantly to 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while dropping below 125 mm pushes you out of the large-bore tier. The adjustable stroke is a major advantage if you need to fine-tune end positions on-site without swapping the cylinder, or if you want a shared spare across multiple stroke variants. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The included -S magnet enables sensor use right away. Even at this 175 mm stroke, always verify your guide structure to prevent excessive side loading on the rod.
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 air port is G1/2.
The nominal 175 mm stroke is the maximum. The external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 135 to 175 mm. The retract end is fixed, and the stop only sets the end position—it does not lock the load.
