The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X175-75S 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 aluminium barrel for high structural rigidity. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for precise position detection, while the G1/2 port handles pneumatic flow. It handles a safe working load of about 3682 N, which means you can lift roughly 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The -75 code defines an external adjuster window that lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 75 mm, giving a usable extension range of 100 to 175 mm without changing the cylinder itself. This on-site end-position tuning is ideal for sharing spares across stroke variants. The retract end remains fixed, and the default TPU seals offer long life, though a Viton H option extends operation to 150 C.

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 75 mm extend-shortening window to dial in the exact bottoming position for pressing bearings without machining new hard stops.
Adjust the extend reach on-site to match varying package widths on a sorting line, ensuring the diverter pawl hits the correct contact point.
Fine-tune the stopping height for different pallet loads by retracting the external adjuster screw, keeping the nominal 175 mm stroke as a maximum ceiling.
When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option as it is the low edge of the SGCJ range, producing 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N push at the same pressure if your application demands more power. The adjustable stroke is a major selection advantage when you need to fine-tune the extend end position on the machine or standardize one spare cylinder across multiple non-critical stroke variants. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1 and TCM2 brackets. The -S suffix confirms the magnet is present for sensors. Because the 175 mm stroke is well under the 500 mm threshold, side-load guide concerns are minimal, but always ensure linear guidance for optimal seal life.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder has a G1/2 port and generates 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa. 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 nominal 175 mm stroke is the maximum extension. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 75 mm, yielding a usable range of 100 to 175 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this mechanism sets the end position rather than holding the load.
