The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X130 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 130mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X130 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 125 mm bore with a 130 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 6136 N pushing force, scaling to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a capable actuator for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks. The 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion help manage end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model uses the standard PT1/2 port thread and TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range. The body length A is 203 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 333 mm. As a genuine AirTAC big-bore cylinder, it meets the ISO 6430 class dimensional envelope for 125 mm tie-rod cylinders.

The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy-duty diverter gates and sortation arms on wide conveyor lines, handling product flows up to 625 kgf.
Delivers up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa for pneumatic toggle clamps and assembly presses. The 130 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading and ejection.
Suitable for scissor-lift tables and tilt mechanisms. The 32 mm rod and tie-rod construction handle the structural demands of guided vertical lifting applications.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC160 (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa) provides a significant boost. If 6136 N is sufficient but space is tight, the SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) offers a smaller footprint. The 130 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 125 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, any mounting accessory (this is a basic body, so order F-SC125LB/FA/FB/CA/CB/TC separately if needed), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). For strokes over 300 mm, an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod from side-load bending.
Quick checklist
The theoretical pushing force is 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, 8590 N at 0.7 MPa, and 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pulling force on the retract stroke is 5734 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 32 mm rod reducing the piston area.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The SC125 is an ISO 6430 class big-bore cylinder, and its body length is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 unit. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC125 tie-rod cylinder with the same 130 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting configuration.
