About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X15
The SC125X15 is a compact-stroke member of the AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder family, pairing a 125 mm bore with a short 15 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 6136 N of push force (5734 N pull), making it suitable for clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where a high-force nudge is needed in a limited linear envelope.
This double-acting cylinder uses a 32 mm diameter piston rod with an M27x2 knuckle thread and PT1/2 ports. The body length A is 203 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 218 mm. An adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke to soften impact. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s for this ISO 6430 class bore.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X15 Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Short 15 mm stroke with 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa securely locks workpieces in CNC fixtures and welding jigs.
Part Ejection
Delivers a powerful, brief punch to eject formed parts from press tools or moulds without occupying excessive machine depth.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Quickly shifts heavy diverter gates or flippers on wide conveyor lines, handling the inertia of large packages.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X15 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force in a smaller footprint, step down to the 100 mm bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa). If the 15 mm stroke is too short, the SC125 supports standard strokes up to 1500 mm. Because the stroke is very short, side-loading is rarely a concern here, but always centre the load on the rod axis.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 125 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mount (no factory bracket), and confirm whether a magnet is required. This model has no built-in magnet, so external sensors need a separate mounting band if position feedback is needed.
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 SC125X15 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure the SC125X15 produces 8590 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force, based on the official AirTAC thrust table for the 125 mm bore.
This basic model ships without a mounting bracket. You can order the centre trunnion kit separately (part code F-SC125TC, which includes the TCM1 bracket) and attach it to the tie rods, or specify the factory-assembled SC125X15TC variant.
