The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X35S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 35mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X35S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 35 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping, pressing, and ejector duties where high force in a compact cycle length is essential.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 125 mm bore uses a 32 mm piston rod with M27x2 male threads and PT1/2 ports, and features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the high-inertia load smoothly.

| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | — |
| Max (approx.) | 1251 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

The 6136 N force at 0.5 MPa securely clamps large weldments, castings, or structural assemblies during machining or fabrication.
Short 35 mm stroke with 11045 N peak thrust ejects heavy parts from die-casting or stamping tools, with adjustable cushioning to protect the tool.
Magnetic piston sensing confirms retracted/extended position for high-force pallet stops or diverter gates on heavy-duty conveyor lines.
For applications needing less force, stepping down to the 100 mm bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If the 35 mm stroke is insufficient, the SC125 series supports standard strokes up to 1500 mm. This is an ISO 6430 class tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC125 cylinders or tie-rod designs matching the same bore, stroke, PT1/2 port, and M27x2 rod thread.
When replacing, match five points: 125 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) the theoretical push force is 8590 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 11045 N. Pull force at 0.5 MPa is 5734 N due to the 32 mm rod area.
Yes. The -S suffix designates a built-in magnet on the piston. You can use AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors, which clamp onto the tie-rod barrel without additional brackets.
