The AirTAC Airtac SGCJ200-250 Adjustable Cylinder SGCJ250X900-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 900mm 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 fine-tunes the extend end position on-site without changing your mount. The -20 mm window lets you shorten the usable extend stroke from the 900 mm maximum down to 880 mm, while the retract end remains fixed. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high structural rigidity, and the G1 pneumatic port handles the massive air volume required for this bore size.
With a safe working load around 14726 N, it can vertically lift approximately 1251 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. 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. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that the air cushions only decelerate the piston near the ends; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load securely on air loss.

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 weighing up to 1251 kg vertically, using the 20 mm adjuster to set the precise lift height for different dock levels.
Ejects heavy formed parts from large presses, using the on-site stroke adjustment to compensate for varying die thicknesses without remounting.
Swings heavy diverter gates on high-capacity aggregate conveyors, relying on the 60 mm cushions to safely stop the massive 250 mm piston.
When sizing this unit, stepping down to a 200 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 15708 N, while this 250 mm bore provides 24543 N. The adjustable stroke feature is highly useful when you need to share a spare cylinder across slightly different machine variants or dial in the exact end position after installation. Standard SGCJ mountings include FA, LB, TC, FTC, TCM1, and TCM2. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback. Because the 900 mm stroke is long, always provide external rod-end support and guide mechanisms to prevent side-load bending on the 50 mm rod.
Quick checklist
This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port and a 50 mm piston rod. 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 external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site. The usable extend range is 880 to 900 mm, with 900 mm being the maximum nominal stroke. The retract end is fixed, and this stop mechanism only sets the end position; it does not lock the load.
