The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X160-100 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 rigidity. The G3/4 port and M36x2.0 rod thread handle serious airflows, while the two-way piston seal ensures reliable double-acting single-rod operation.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 100 mm, yielding a usable 60-160 mm window without changing the cylinder itself. This yields a safe working load of roughly 6032 N, or about 512 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. It is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, and a Viton H seal can raise the operating ceiling to 150 C.

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.
Micro-adjust the 60-160 mm extend stop on-site to set precise insertion depths for bearing press fits without swapping cylinders.
Shorten the extend window up to 100 mm to fine-tune a conveyor divertor arm position for varying package widths.
Dial in the exact end position for a heavy pallet stop gate, using the external adjuster to compensate for mechanical wear.
Size this 160 mm bore against the 125 mm option (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) or the larger 250 mm class (24543 N). The adjustable stroke is ideal when you need on-site end-position tuning or want a shared spare across stroke variants. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept a magnetic sensor; add -S for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For any stroke over 500 mm, use a guide to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 10053 N and pulls 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 14074 N and pulls 13194 N. The theoretical max is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 port, a 40 mm rod, and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end.
The nominal 160 mm stroke is the maximum. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 100 mm, giving a usable extend range of 60-160 mm. The retract end is fixed. This mechanism only sets the end position; it does not hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
