The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X135 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 135mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X135 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa operating pressure. With a 135 mm stroke and a 32 mm diameter piston rod, this model is well-suited for medium-stroke clamping, pressing, and material handling tasks that require substantial force in a compact footprint.
This cylinder features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 203 mm, and the total extended length is approximately 338 mm. It uses PT1/2 ports and M27x2 rod thread, conforming to the ISO 6430 class for large-bore tie-rod cylinders.

The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for stopping and positioning heavy pallets or transferring large components on conveyor lines, providing reliable material handling control.
Delivers up to 11045 N of force at 0.9 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in welding fixtures, assembly jigs, and machining centres where vibration resistance is critical.
With a 32 mm rigid piston rod and 135 mm stroke, this cylinder is suitable for short-lift scissor tables and bin tippers, handling heavy off-centre loads when externally guided.
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC160 bore offers 10053 N. The SC125X135 uses standard PT threads; ensure your existing fittings match, or specify the G thread option if required. This basic model does not include a magnet or mounting accessories—order the -S suffix for sensor compatibility and select from the F-SC125 mounting range (LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, TC) if brackets are needed.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 125 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet. This model is a direct replacement only for an AirTAC SC125X135 or an equivalent tie-rod cylinder with identical specifications.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 6136 N and the pull force is 5734 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force increases to 8590 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No, the SC125X135 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke. To hold a load safely, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
