The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ125X250-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 250mm 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 integrates a built-in magnet for position sensing. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminium barrel securely to the covers, while the G1/2 port matches the 125 mm bore standard. A genuine ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures dimensional interchangeability across standard fixtures.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm, meaning the usable extend range is 230 to 250 mm from the fixed retract end. This on-site tuning avoids physically swapping cylinders when fine-tuning end positions. The default TPU seals provide long service life, though a Viton H option extends the operating temperature range up to 150 C. With a safe working load of roughly 3682 N, it handles about 313 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 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.
Fine-tune the pressing depth of bearings on-site using the 20 mm extend adjuster window without changing the cylinder setup.
Accurately set the extend stop position for product diverters on packaging lines to handle varying package sizes.
Use the integrated magnet and adjustable end-stop to precisely locate pallets before stretch wrapping operations.
When sizing this 125 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option as it sits at the low edge of the SGCJ family, but stepping up to the 160 mm bore yields 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if your application demands more power. The adjustable stroke feature is highly beneficial for sharing a single spare across multiple stroke variants or finalizing end positions during machine commissioning. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. For this 250 mm stroke, ensure external guide rails are used to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
This 125 mm bore cylinder features a G1/2 port and a 32 mm rod. It delivers 6136 N push and 5734 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 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 stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 20 mm, providing a usable extend range of 230 to 250 mm from the fixed retract end. The nominal 250 mm stroke is the maximum, and the stop only sets the end position; it is not a load lock.
