About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600TC
The AirTAC SC125X600TC is a double-acting, tie-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 125 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, supplied with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. Operating on filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa, it generates a push force of 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty automation class.
This ISO 6430 class cylinder features a 32 mm diameter piston rod with M27×2 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the 600 mm stroke smoothly, while the TPU seals provide reliable service from -20 to +70 °C. The TC mount includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC125TC) for direct integration into swinging or articulating machine linkages.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600TC Is Used
Pallet & Conveyor Diverting
The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily shifts heavy pallets or diverts large packages on wide conveyor lines, with the centre trunnion allowing the cylinder to pivot as it actuates.
Agricultural Implement Control
Ideal for controlling chutes, gates, or large levers on farming equipment. The robust tie-rod construction and 600 mm stroke handle the high forces and dusty conditions typical in agricultural processing.
Heavy Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 11045 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for heavy weld fixtures or assembly presses. The adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact damage at the end of the 600 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X600TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC125 when your application requires between roughly 5000 and 11000 N of push force at standard plant air pressures. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC100 bore (3927 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce actuator size and air consumption. For higher forces, the SC160 bore delivers 10053 N at the same 0.5 MPa.
At a 600 mm stroke, the 32 mm rod is robust, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external guide or linear rail system to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. For direct replacement, match the 125 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and ensure the existing cylinder is a tie-rod design. This model does not include a magnet; if sensor feedback is needed, specify the -S suffix.
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 SC125X600TC 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. The SC125-250 bores are classified as ISO 6430. For a successful replacement, match the bore, stroke, PT port thread, and centre trunnion mounting to another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
