The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ200-250 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ250X500-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 500mm 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.
Generating massive thrust, this large-bore ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder delivers 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, providing structural rigidity for heavy-duty automation. It features a G1 air port, a 50 mm piston rod, and adjustable 60 mm air cushions at both ends.
The -10 code defines an external adjuster that lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 490-500 mm without changing the cylinder itself. This SKU includes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. With a safe working load around 14726 N, it can vertically lift roughly 1251 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note that TPU seals are unavailable for this 250 mm bore; NBR is standard, with a Viton H option for 0-150 C environments.

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 10 mm adjuster to dial in the exact transfer height.
Ejects heavy formed parts from large presses, relying on the 60 mm cushions to decelerate the massive 50 mm rod smoothly.
Actuates multi-ton shelving units in climate-controlled warehouses, benefiting from the Viton H high-temperature seal option.
Sizing this actuator requires looking both ways: the 200 mm bore tops out at 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 250 mm bore reaches 24543 N, defining the high edge of the family. The 10 mm adjustable window is perfect for fine-tuning end positions on-site or sharing a spare across stroke variants. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S suffix means the magnet is present and ready for sensors. Because the stroke is 500 mm, you must use external guides to prevent rod bending under side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 24543 N push and 23562 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 34360 N push and 32986 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is G1.
The nominal 500 mm stroke is the maximum. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site by up to 10 mm, yielding a 490-500 mm usable range. The retract end remains fixed. This mechanism sets end position and is not a load lock.
