The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X50-50 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 50mm 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 handles heavy pressing and clamping duties with ease. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for maximum structural rigidity, while the two-way piston seal ensures leak-free cycling. A practical safe working load sits around 6032 N, which translates to lifting roughly 512 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This double-acting single-rod unit features a 50 mm extend stroke that can be shortened on-site by up to 50 mm via an external adjuster, letting you fine-tune the end position without swapping the cylinder. The retract end remains fixed. It uses a G3/4 port and a 50 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the payload smoothly. For high-temperature environments up to 150 C, you can specify the Viton H seal option instead of the standard TPU.

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.
Dial in the exact 0-50 mm extend contact point on-site to apply 10053 N of clamping force without over-traveling the die set.
Fine-tune the physical stop position for varying product widths on a conveyor line, using the external adjuster to shorten the stroke as needed.
Press bearings into housings using the 14074 N available at 0.7 MPa, tweaking the extend window to accommodate different bearing heights without changing tooling.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to a 125 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 6136 N, while stepping up to a 200 mm bore raises it to 15708 N. The adjustable stroke is ideal when you need to share a common spare across multiple stroke variants or dial in a precise end position on the machine. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2 brackets. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection. Keep operating speed within 30-500 mm/s and use external guide rails to support side loads.
Quick checklist
This 160 mm bore cylinder uses a G3/4 port and generates 10053 N push and 9425 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 14074 N push and 13194 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The nominal 50 mm extend stroke is the maximum. The external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, giving a usable extend range of 0-50 mm. The retract end is fixed, and the adjuster sets the end position rather than holding the load.
