The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1350 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 1350mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X1350 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion are built to manage high-inertia loads at the end of the 1350 mm stroke, making it a robust choice for heavy linear actuation.
This 125 mm bore model belongs to the ISO 6430 class of big-bore cylinders, featuring a PT1/2 port and a body length A of 203 mm. The 1350 mm stroke is within the standard maximum of 1500 mm for this bore, ensuring availability as a standard catalog item without the lead time of a full custom order.

Provides the high force needed to position and clamp large logs on carriages or conveyor stops, withstanding the dirty, demanding conditions of a sawmill environment.
Actuates folding mechanisms on wide tillage tools or controls chute deflectors on large harvesters, where the 11045 N max force reliably moves heavy, debris-laden assemblies.
Drives the material ram in a recycling compactor, using the full 1350 mm stroke to push bulk waste into the compression chamber with consistent, high thrust.
Select this 125 mm bore when the 100 mm bore's 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient for the load. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 100 mm bore can reduce air consumption. For any stroke over 300 mm, like this 1350 mm model, ensure the rod is externally guided or the load is perfectly axial; a long, unsupported 32 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads, which damages the rod bearing and seal.
To guarantee a direct replacement, match five key specifications: the 125 mm bore, 1350 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory), and the absence of a magnet. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC125 tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 8590 N, and the pull force on the retract stroke is 5734 N. These values are based on the 125 mm bore and 32 mm piston rod diameter.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC125X1350 will drift or drop if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load-holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
