The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ200-250 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ250X450-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 450mm 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 integrates an external adjuster that shortens the extend stroke on-site by up to 30 mm. The nominal 450 mm stroke serves as the maximum, yielding a usable 420 to 450 mm extend window while the retract end remains fixed. This allows precise end-position tuning without physically swapping the cylinder. It handles a safe working load of about 14726 N, which translates to lifting roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for structural rigidity, and the G1 pneumatic port matches the 250 mm bore standard.
Dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface, it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures. The unit features adjustable 60 mm air cushions at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly. Because this is a 250 mm bore, TPU seals are not available; instead it uses NBR packings, with a Viton H high-temperature option rated for 0 to 150 C. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors without upgrading to the -S variant. Furthermore, the cushion only decelerates the piston and does not hold the load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for suspended loads.

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 30 mm extend-shortening window to fine-tune the exact bottom-dead-center pressing position on heavy stamping machinery without changing the cylinder mounting.
Leverage the 24543 N push force to elevate 1251 kg loads vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the 60 mm cushions to stop the motion smoothly.
Drop this ISO 15552 interface cylinder into existing large-bore fixtures to actuate heavy molds, tweaking the 450 mm stroke down to 420 mm on-site for precise mating.
When sizing this 250 mm bore model, stepping down to a 200 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 15708 N, while this unit provides 24543 N. As the largest standard bore, it sits at the high edge of the range, offering a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 30 mm adjustable stroke window is ideal for applications requiring on-site end-position tuning or when sharing a spare cylinder across multiple stroke variants. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 450 mm stroke exceeds 500 mm, ensure adequate side-load guidance to prevent premature rod seal wear. Finally, since this SKU is not -S, it cannot support magnetic sensing.
Quick checklist
This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod thread. It generates 24543 N push and 23562 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 34360 N push and 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -30 code indicates an external adjuster that shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site. The nominal 450 mm stroke is the maximum, allowing an usable extend range of 420 to 450 mm, while the retract end remains fixed. This mechanism sets the end position but does not lock the load.
