The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X200SH is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 200mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X200SH is a double-acting single-rod tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 200 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 125 mm bore, making it a robust choice for medium-travel industrial positioning.
This model features a built-in magnet (suffix -S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus Viton (FKM) seals (suffix -H) that shift the operating temperature range to 0–150°C. The 32 mm piston rod, M27x2 rod thread, and PT1/2 port thread provide solid mechanical connection and flow capacity for high-force applications.

With 11045 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits heavy-duty clamping fixtures and small forming presses where high force in a compact stroke is essential.
The 200 mm stroke and high force are ideal for actuating diverter gates or stops on heavy-duty conveyor systems, handling bulky pallets or dense materials.
Viton seals enable reliable operation in autoclaves, sterilizers, or drying ovens up to 150°C, making it suitable for food, pharma, or chemical processing equipment.
Choose the SC125 bore when your load requires roughly 6136 N at standard plant pressure; stepping down to an SC100 bore reduces push force to 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to SC160 raises it to 10053 N. For this 200 mm stroke, side-load risk is moderate, but always align the rod axis with the load path and consider an external guide if off-axis forces are present.
To replace an existing cylinder, match all five points: 125 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material. The SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
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 reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The SC125X200SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
