The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ200-250 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ250X400-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 400mm stroke, G1 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 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder handles heavy-duty motion with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing structural rigidity, while the standard mounting interface drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. It uses a G1 air port and a 50 mm piston rod with an M42x2.0 thread.
The -20 code defines a 20 mm external adjuster window that shortens the extend stroke on site, letting you fine-tune the end position from 380 to 400 mm without changing the hardware. The retract end remains fixed. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take a sensor; the -S variant is required for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Because TPU is unavailable on this 250 mm bore, it uses NBR seals, with a Viton H option for 0-150 C environments. In practice, it handles a safe working load of roughly 14726 N, lifting about 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Raises loaded pallets in automated distribution hubs, using the 20 mm extend adjuster to dial in exact stopping heights for varied package sizes.
Provides massive resistance and end-position tuning in large metal forming presses, relying on the 60 mm adjustable air cushions to absorb kinetic energy.
Secures heavy injection molds during setup, utilizing the 34360 N push force at 0.7 MPa to hold position while the external stopper sets the final gap.
Size this 250 mm bore against the 200 mm option, which provides 15708 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up if you need the absolute maximum 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable stroke is ideal for sharing a spare cylinder across multiple stroke variants or trimming end positions on site. SGCJ mountings include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because this is a no-S SKU, it cannot accept magnetic sensors. For any stroke over 500 mm, always use a guide rail to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port and a 50 mm rod. It generates 24543 N push and 23562 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 34360 N push and 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -20 indicates a 20 mm external adjuster window. The nominal 400 mm extend stroke is the maximum, but you can shorten it by up to 20 mm on site for a usable range of 380-400 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this stopper only sets position; it does not lock the load.
