The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X155S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 155mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X155S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion handle deceleration smoothly, making it a workhorse for medium-to-heavy pneumatic tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for rod-position feedback. With a 155 mm stroke and a body length A of 203 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 358 mm. The standard PT1/2 port and M27x2 rod thread suit robust industrial plumbing.

The 11045 N thrust at 0.9 MPa provides ample force for pneumatic clamping fixtures on machining centres, holding large castings or weldments securely during cutting or assembly.
With 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and sensor-ready position feedback, this cylinder works as a powered pallet stop or lift station in conveyor systems, confirming end-of-stroke to the PLC.
The 32 mm rod and tie-rod construction withstand the side-loads of simple press and forming operations, while the built-in magnet enables cycle counting and stroke-end detection.
The SC125 bore sits between the SC100 (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) and the SC160 (10053 N at 0.5 MPa). If your load requires more than ~6000 N of force, step up to the SC160; for a lighter, more compact actuator, the SC100 may suffice. The 155 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For replacement, match five points: 125 mm bore, 155 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and your existing mounting accessory. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Big-bore SC125-250 models are ISO 6430 class.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 6136 N and pull force is 5734 N. At 0.7 MPa, push reaches 8590 N. The maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa delivers 11045 N of push force. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly on the barrel tie-rods to detect piston position without external brackets.
