The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X160-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 160mm stroke, G3/4 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 10053 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 G3/4 port feeds a double-acting single-rod mechanism that drives a 40 mm piston rod, making it dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface for existing large-bore fixtures.
The external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 150 to 160 mm without changing the cylinder itself. This on-site fine-tuning is ideal for dialing in exact end positions, while the two-way piston seal and adjustable 50 mm air cushions manage impact. It handles about 6032 N of safe working load, which means you can lift roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without the -S option.

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 bottom dead center of a light-duty stamping or riveting press on-site using the 10 mm extend shortening window, avoiding mechanical shim changes.
Fine-tune the actuation length of a heavy package divertor arm by up to 10 mm to accommodate different box sizes without swapping the cylinder.
Calibrate the stopping point on a heavy pallet handling line by adjusting the extend stroke from 150 to 160 mm to compensate for mechanical wear over time.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to a 125 mm unit drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while stepping up to a 200 mm bore raises it to 15708 N. The 10 mm adjustable window is highly useful when you need to share a spare cylinder across slightly different stroke variants or fine-tune a machine's end position on the factory floor. SGCJ mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a no-S SKU, it cannot accept magnetic sensors. For any stroke length approaching or exceeding 500 mm, always use a dedicated guide rail to prevent side-load damage to the rod and seals.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and delivers 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it provides 14074 N push and 13194 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The nominal stroke is 160 mm, which is the maximum extend length. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 10 mm, yielding a usable range of 150 to 160 mm. The retract end is fixed. This stop only sets the end position and does not hold the load on air loss.
