The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X175STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X175STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 175 mm stroke is paired with a robust 32 mm piston rod and an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm, providing smooth deceleration for mid-range linear movements.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for reliable position feedback. The centre trunnion mount (TC) is supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC125TC), enabling the cylinder to pivot and handle swinging loads effectively.

The 175 mm stroke and high force effectively push heavy packages or pallets onto a branch line, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder body to swing as the diverter arm arcs.
Delivers up to 11045 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for holding large weldments or assemblies. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke confirmation to prevent short cycles.
Raises and lowers a large safety guard with controlled motion. The adjustable cushion and trunnion pivot manage the inertial load of a heavy steel mesh door.
For higher force at the same pressure, step up to the SC160 bore, which offers 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, more compact solution is acceptable, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N. This 125 mm bore model is an ISO 6430 class cylinder.
To ensure a direct replacement, match five key points: identical bore and stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the TCM1 bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. Always verify the total extended length (body length 203 mm + 175 mm stroke) fits the existing machine envelope.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 8590 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 5734 N, accounting for the 32 mm rod diameter.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, it will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. For load-holding in a power-off condition, you must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical rod lock.
