About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60S
The SC125X60S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa, making it a powerful actuator for heavy industrial tasks. With a 60 mm stroke and a 32 mm diameter piston rod, it provides a compact yet forceful linear motion solution.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise position feedback. The standard PT1/2 port and TPU seals suit general pneumatic environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60S Is Used
Heavy Part Transfer
Shifts large steel fabrications or castings between conveyor stations with 6136 N of push force at standard line pressure.
Industrial Press Feed
Feeds heavy-gauge sheet metal into a stamping press, using the 60 mm stroke for a rapid, high-force index cycle.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies 11045 N of clamping force in a welding fixture, with magnetic sensors confirming jaw closure before the cycle starts.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the SC160 bore provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, lighter cylinder is acceptable, the SC100 bore offers 3927 N. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 125 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and ensure the replacement also has a magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. For strokes over 300 mm on this bore, external guides are recommended to protect the 32 mm rod from side-load bending.
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 SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC125X60S generates 8590 N of push force on extension. The pull force on retraction is 5734 N due to the 32 mm rod reducing the piston area.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, allowing AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing.
