About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600S
The AirTAC SC125X600S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 600 mm stroke, it provides substantial linear travel for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks, driven by a 32 mm diameter piston rod for robust load handling.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position sensing. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston at stroke end, reducing impact and noise. As a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, it offers a compact tie-rod design shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders, with PT1/2 ports and an M27x2 rod thread.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 600 mm stroke and 6136 N force at 0.5 MPa reliably push or lift heavy pallets between conveyor sections. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing for automated sequencing.
Heavy-Duty Clamping & Pressing
Delivering up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides the high force needed for industrial clamping, pressing, or riveting fixtures, with adjustable cushioning to protect tooling.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
The robust 32 mm rod and 600 mm travel eject compacted materials from balers or compactors. The tie-rod construction withstands the repetitive, high-force demands of waste handling.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC125 bore when your application requires between 6136 N and 11045 N of push force (at 0.5–0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, step down to the SC100 bore, which provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher forces, the SC160 bore delivers 10053 N at the same pressure.
At a 600 mm stroke, the 32 mm rod is well-supported, but always avoid direct side loads. For guided motion, pair this cylinder with an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder. When replacing an existing unit, match all five critical points: 125 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic (no-bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC125X600S FAQ
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 inside the piston. This allows you to attach AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly to the barrel's external groove for precise, non-contact position detection.
