The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X1800STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 1800mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X1800STC is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 32 mm diameter piston rod and M27x2 knuckle thread, this model is built for heavy industrial linear motion tasks requiring an extended 1800 mm stroke.
This non-standard stroke length exceeds the standard 1500 mm maximum for the 125 mm bore, making it a made-to-order configuration for applications needing extra reach. It comes equipped with a built-in magnet (S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) with the TCM1 bracket for pivoting motion. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end is 28 mm, softening end-of-stroke impact for the high-inertia loads typical of this force class.

Pushing heavy pallets or bins off a wide conveyor or into a stretch-wrapper with an 1800 mm stroke, using the trunnion mount to pivot into position.
Controlling a large chute door or discharge gate on a harvester or silage trailer, where the long stroke and pivoting action provide full range of motion.
Applying 11045 N of clamping force in a large welding or riveting fixture, with the centre trunnion allowing the cylinder body to swing for part loading clearance.
Selecting the SC125X1800STC means sizing for a 125 mm bore where the 0.5 MPa push force of 6136 N meets the load requirement. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 100 mm bore reduces push force to 3927 N at the same pressure, saving energy and space. For higher force needs, the 160 mm bore offers 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. Given the exceptionally long 1800 mm stroke, side-load management is critical—the 32 mm rod is susceptible to bending under off-axis forces. Always use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearings and seals, or consider a guided cylinder for integrated support. For a direct replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 1800 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and the integrated magnet (-S) sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force is 11045 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa (not for continuous operation) is 1251 kgf. The pull force on the retract stroke is lower due to the rod area, delivering 5734 N at 0.5 MPa.
No, 1800 mm is a non-standard stroke exceeding the 1500 mm standard maximum for the 125 mm bore. For such a long extension, you must guide the load externally or use a rod-alignment coupler. The cylinder's rod bearings are not designed to support significant side loads, especially at full extension.
