About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X200SCA
The AirTAC SC125X200SCA is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic 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 200 mm stroke and a 32 mm diameter rod, this ISO 6430 class cylinder provides robust linear actuation for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks.
This model features a built-in magnet (S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The CA suffix denotes a rear single clevis mount (F-SC125CA), allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. Standard PT ports and TPU seals complete the configuration, with an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X200SCA Is Used
Heavy Part Clamping
Delivers up to 11045 N of force at 0.9 MPa for secure fixturing of large weldments or castings in machining centers.
Material Transfer
Pushes heavy pallets or bins off a main conveyor line onto a gravity spur, using the 200 mm stroke for full transfer.
Press-Fit Assembly
Provides the high thrust needed to press bearings or bushings into housings, with the clevis mount allowing for minor alignment pivoting.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC125 when your application requires forces between the SC100 (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC160 (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa). The 200 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring standard lead times. For applications with significant side loads, especially on longer strokes, consider an external guide rail system to protect the 32 mm rod from bending stress.
For a direct replacement, match five key specifications: 125 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear single clevis mounting (CA), and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC125X200SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 6136 N and the pull force is 5734 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The SC125X200SCA is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. For load-holding, an external pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical rod lock is required.
