About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X450FA
The SC125X450FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 125 mm bore with a 450 mm stroke. It generates a substantial push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure), making it suitable for heavy-duty clamping, pressing, and lifting tasks. The piston rod measures 32 mm in diameter with an M27x2 thread, and the unit features a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration.
This model is configured with an FA front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC125FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting. It uses standard PT ports (PT1/2), TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range, and has no built-in magnet. The body length A is 203 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 653 mm. As a genuine AirTAC component, it provides reliable performance in demanding industrial automation environments.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X450FA Is Used
Heavy Press-Fit Assembly
The 11045 N force at 0.9 MPa drives bearings or bushings into housings with consistent, controlled pressure in automated assembly cells.
Pallet Stop & Lift
Raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The front flange mount (FA) allows rigid attachment to the conveyor frame for stable vertical lifting.
Material Forming & Clamping
Provides the high clamping force needed to hold large workpieces during welding, bending, or machining operations, resisting movement under heavy tool pressure.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X450FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC125 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 6136 N and 11045 N. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC100 bore (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
With a 450 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from significant side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For direct replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a magnet sensor. This SC model is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X450FA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 11045 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a comparable ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a direct replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with a 125 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and an FA front flange mount.
