The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ125~160 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ160X600-50 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 600mm 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 tasks with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for structural rigidity. It uses a G3/4 port and an M36x2.0 piston rod. The two-way piston seal ensures reliable bidirectional operation.
The -50 code means an external adjuster can shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 50 mm, giving a usable range of 550 to 600 mm without changing the cylinder itself. This lets you fine-tune end positions quickly. The nominal 600 mm stroke is the maximum. It handles about 6032 N of safe working load, which is roughly 512 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. The standard TPU seal operates from -20 to +70 C, while a Viton H option extends this 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.
Dial in the exact 550 to 600 mm extend position on a heavy-duty assembly press without swapping cylinders, using the external stop screw to accommodate different material thicknesses.
Adjust the extend endpoint on-site to handle varied pallet sizes in a high-force automated warehouse conveyor system, ensuring precise placement every time.
Secure large industrial components in a machining fixture, tweaking the 50 mm window to compensate for part tolerances while applying up to 14074 N at 0.7 MPa.
When sizing this 160 mm bore, stepping down to a 125 mm bore yields 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 200 mm bore provides 15708 N. This model sits comfortably in the mid-range. The adjustable stroke is ideal when you need on-site end-position tuning or want to share a spare cylinder across slightly different stroke variants. SGCJ mounting options include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a no-S SKU, it cannot take a magnetic switch; you need the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. At a 600 mm stroke, large-bore rods need external guide support to prevent rod bending and manage side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull. 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 external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 550 to 600 mm. The nominal 600 mm stroke is the maximum, and the retract end is fixed. This mechanism sets the end position and is not a load lock.
