The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X300-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 300mm 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 integrates a 30 mm external adjuster to shorten the extend stroke on-site. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal ensures reliable bidirectional operation. It handles a safe working load of roughly 6032 N, which translates to lifting about 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The G3/4 air port feeds the 40 mm piston rod, and adjustable 50 mm air cushions decelerate the payload smoothly at both ends.
You can fine-tune the end position anywhere between 270 mm and the 300 mm maximum without physically changing the cylinder. Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. The default TPU seals provide long service life, though a Viton H option extends the operating temperature range up to 150 C. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.

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 270 to 300 mm extend position on-site to seat bearings without over-traveling, avoiding the need to machine custom spacers.
Fine-tune the extend stop to accommodate different package sizes on a sorting line, ensuring the diverting arm hits the precise transfer point.
Shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to calibrate pallet stopping positions dynamically as pallet types change on the handling line.
When sizing this 160 mm bore actuator, the neighboring 125 mm option yields 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. The external 30 mm adjuster is ideal for sharing a single spare across multiple stroke variants or dialing in exact end positions on-site. You can mount it using FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 accessories. For any stroke length at or above 500 mm, always use a guide rail to prevent side-load damage. Note that this non-magnet version cannot support position sensing; select the -S variant if you require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder features a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm rod. It generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 14074 N push and 13194 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 270 to 300 mm. The nominal 300 mm stroke is the maximum, and the retract end remains fixed. This mechanism sets the end position and is not a load lock.
