About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1300
The AirTAC SC125X1300 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. With a 125 mm bore operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 6136 N pushing and 5734 N pulling, scaling up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 1300 mm stroke, well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide robust guidance and smooth deceleration for large inertial loads. As an ISO 6430 class cylinder, it offers a compact tie-rod construction that is shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1300 Is Used
Palletizer Lift
The 1300 mm stroke and 11045 N peak force raise heavy pallets smoothly in automated stacking systems, with adjustable cushioning to protect the load at end-of-travel.
Heavy-Gauge Press Feed
Delivers the consistent 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to index thick steel sheet through a stamping press, with the tie-rod design standing up to high-cycle industrial environments.
Balers and Compactors
Provides the high force and long stroke required for compacting recyclable materials, where the robust 32 mm rod resists buckling under compression loads.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1300 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC125 bore when your application requires between 5734 N and 11045 N of force. For lower force requirements, stepping down to the SC100 bore provides 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, reducing air consumption. For higher demands, the SC160 bore offers 10053 N at the same pressure.
At a 1300 mm stroke, the piston rod has significant unsupported length. Evaluate side loads carefully; if the load is not perfectly guided, use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent rod bending and premature bearing and seal wear. For replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a magnet to ensure drop-in compatibility with an existing AirTAC SC125 tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1300 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 8590 N and the pull force on the return stroke is 5734 N. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 11045 N push.
Yes, if the existing unit is an AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder. Verify matching specifications: 125 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no integral bracket), and no built-in magnet. This model uses standard TPU seals for a -20 to +70 C temperature range.
