The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ200-250 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ250X400-40 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 positioning with ease. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for structural rigidity, and the G1 air port feeds the 50 mm piston rod. It yields a safe working load of about 14726 N, which translates to lifting roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The -40 code defines an external adjuster window that lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site from the 400 mm maximum down to 360 mm. You can fine-tune the end position without changing the cylinder itself, while the retract end remains fixed. This 250 mm bore uses NBR seals because TPU is unavailable here, though a Viton H option extends the temperature range from 0 to 150 C. As a plain SKU without a magnet, it cannot accept a CMSG or DMSG sensor.

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.
Clamps massive steel-bound cargo securely. The 40 mm extend adjuster dials in the exact contact point to cut bands without overtravel.
Sets heavy stamping dies into the exact home position. The external stop screw fine-tunes the 400 mm extend end during setup.
Generates 34360 N of push at 0.7 MPa to seal large casting flasks. The 60 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the heavy platen smoothly.
When sizing this unit, stepping down to a 200 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 15708 N, while moving up is impossible as 250 mm is the largest standard size. The 40 mm adjustable window is ideal for sharing a single spare cylinder across multiple stroke variants or finalizing end positions during machine commissioning. You can mount it via FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, or TCM2 brackets. Because this is a non-magnetized model, it cannot take a position sensor; you would need the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. For any stroke at or above 500 mm, always use a guide rail to prevent side-load damage.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 24543 N push and 23562 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 34360 N push and 32986 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1 port and a 50 mm rod.
The 400 mm nominal stroke is the maximum. The -40 code means an external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 360 to 400 mm. The retract end is fixed. This mechanism only sets end position and does not lock the load.
