The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X25TC 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 AirTAC SC125X25TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa max operating pressure). With a 25 mm stroke and a 32 mm diameter piston rod, it suits short-throw clamping, pressing, and positioning tasks where a compact extended length is critical.
This model includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC125TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact noise and wear in high-cycle applications.

Delivers 11045 N at 0.9 MPa for powerful workpiece clamping in machining centres and welding fixtures, with trunnion pivot allowing angular alignment.
Ideal for bearing or bushing insertion where a short, controlled 25 mm stroke and high force ensure precise seating without overtravel.
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder swing to operate diverter gates on conveyors, handling heavy product flows with the 6136 N push at standard line pressure.
Choose the SC125 bore when the 100 mm bore's 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient; step down to SC100 if the 125 bore's force exceeds your structural limits. For this 25 mm stroke, side-load bending is minimal, but always align the rod axis with the load to protect the rod bearing.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 125 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a magnet. This SC series is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so verify tie-rod mounting dimensions against the original unit.
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, push force reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching bore, stroke, port, mounting, and magnet options.
