The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X245S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 245mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X245S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy pressing, clamping, and forming operations. Its 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust guidance and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for the 245 mm stroke.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. As an ISO 6430 class tie-rod cylinder, it offers a compact body length of 203 mm plus stroke, ideal where space is limited compared to full ISO 15552 profiles.

Moves large castings or weldments between stations on roller conveyors, using the 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome inertia reliably.
Provides rapid advance and retraction of press platens in composite molding, with the magnet confirming full-open and full-closed positions.
Applies controlled cyclic loads to beams or frames, where the 11045 N maximum thrust and sensor feedback enable precise displacement monitoring.
For higher force at the same pressure, step up to the SC160 bore (10053 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, faster-moving load, the SC100 bore (3927 N at 0.5 MPa) may be more economical. The 245 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard range for this bore, so it is a standard catalogue item. When replacing, match exactly: 125 mm bore, 245 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, so you can clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel without any additional brackets or modifications.
