The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X450-50S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 450mm 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 four steel rods clamping the aluminum barrel for maximum structural rigidity. The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position detection, while the G3/4 air port feeds the 40 mm rod to generate 14074 N at 0.7 MPa.
An external adjuster allows you to shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, meaning the usable forward travel spans 400 to 450 mm without swapping the cylinder. This on-site tuning is ideal for matching shared spares across stroke variants. The mechanism sets the end position but does not lock the load, as the 50 mm adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston. For vertical lifting, it safely handles around 512 kg with a 2:1 margin, and a Viton H seal option extends operation up 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 50 mm extend-shortening window to precisely set the bottom dead center on a light assembly press without machining new spacers.
Fine-tune the stopping position of 500 kg pallets on a conveyor by adjusting the stroke end on-site to match varying load depths.
Lift approximately 512 kg of raw material safely, relying on the 50 mm adjustable air cushions to decelerate the heavy load before the end of travel.
When sizing this unit against neighboring bores, the 125 mm version provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the 200 mm bore steps up to 15708 N, placing this 160 mm model perfectly in the middle for medium-to-heavy loads. The 50 mm adjustable window is highly beneficial when you need to fine-tune the end position on-site or maintain a single spare part across multiple stroke variants. You can mount it using FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 hardware. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor tracking. Because the 450 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm when fully extended, ensure you use a external guide to prevent rod side-loading and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N of push and 9425 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push is 14074 N and the pull is 13194 N. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G3/4 air port and a 40 mm piston rod.
The 450 mm nominal stroke is the maximum travel. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 400 to 450 mm. The retract end remains fixed, and this adjustment sets the end position rather than locking the load.
