About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60STC
The SC125X60STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 60 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping, pressing, and ejector stations where space is tight but force demand is high.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC) that ships with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC125TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot as the rod extends. The 32 mm rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion handle end-of-stroke deceleration reliably.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60STC Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixtures
Short 60 mm stroke and 6136 N force at 0.5 MPa make it ideal for welding jigs and machining fixtures that need a firm, repeatable clamp.
Pivoting Part Stops
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder swing, perfect for retractable stops on gravity or powered roller conveyors handling pallets.
Press & Punch Assist
Delivers up to 11045 N at 0.9 MPa for short-power-stroke tasks like punching, riveting, or forming in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X60STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC125 when your application needs roughly 6100 N at standard shop air. If you can work with about 3900 N, stepping down to the SC100 bore saves space and weight. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, evaluate side-load and rod-bearing bending: an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended when the rod sees lateral force.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: bore (125 mm), stroke (60 mm), PT port thread, centre trunnion mounting (TC + TCM1), and the built-in magnet (-S). This SC is a tie-rod cylinder 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 SC125X60STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 6136 N and pulls 5734 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 8590 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors clamp directly onto the barrel. The TC suffix supplies the centre trunnion pivot and the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order code F-SC125TC) as a set.
