The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X25STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 25mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X25STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at 0.9 MPa), making it ideal for short, high-force clamping or pressing operations. Its 125 mm bore houses a robust 32 mm diameter piston rod with an M27x2 male thread, and the body length A measures 203 mm.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion (TC) for pivoting motion. The trunnion ships with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing as the load articulates. It uses standard PT ports and TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter body is required, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N. This 25 mm stroke is a standard offering within the 1500 mm maximum for the 125 bore. When replacing, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, TC mount, and the -S magnet option to ensure drop-in compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), it pushes with 6136 N and pulls with 5734 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 11045 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It will only interchange with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore, stroke, port, mounting, and magnet configuration.
