The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X220TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 220mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X220TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for medium-to-heavy industrial automation. With a 125 mm bore and 220 mm stroke, it generates 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a robust choice for pressing, clamping, and lifting tasks.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC125TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration, while the standard PT1/2 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connections.

The pivoting TC mount and 11045 N max force allow this cylinder to actuate heavy diverter gates on conveyor systems, sorting large packages or pallets reliably.
Use the SC125X220TC in welding or machining fixtures where a strong, controlled 6136 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa holds large workpieces securely during processing.
The centre trunnion pivot is perfect for tilting heavy bins or hoppers. The 220 mm stroke provides a wide arc of motion to dump materials efficiently.
Select the SC125 when your application requires force in the 6000-11000 N range at standard plant pressures. For a lighter, faster-moving load, stepping down to the SC100 bore reduces push force to 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, saving energy and air consumption. For higher force demands, the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at the same pressure.
At a 220 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported within the cylinder, but always ensure the load is guided externally if significant side forces are present. For replacement, match these five points exactly: 125 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the standard TPU seal material.
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 SC series is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is shorter in overall length and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 types. It should replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder or a compatible tie-rod design with matching bore, stroke, port, and mount.
