About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X70TC
The SC125X70TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force and 5734 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 11045 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 125 mm bore and a 70 mm stroke, this model is configured with a centre trunnion mount (TC) for applications requiring the cylinder body to pivot during operation.
This ISO 6430 class tie-rod cylinder features a 32 mm piston rod with an M27x2 thread and a 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 203 mm, resulting in a compact extended length of approximately 273 mm. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, its speed range is 30-500 mm/s, and the standard PT1/2 port and TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X70TC Is Used
Clamping & Forming Presses
The 11045 N force at 0.9 MPa provides ample power for heavy-duty pneumatic clamping, stamping, or press-fit assembly operations where a pivoting cylinder body simplifies fixture design.
Material Handling Tippers
The TC centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as it extends, making it a direct fit for driving bin tippers, chute gates, or dump mechanisms on conveyors and process equipment.
Agricultural Implement Actuation
With a robust 32 mm rod and tie-rod construction, this cylinder withstands harsh environments in farm machinery, controlling hopper doors, flow diverters, or linkage adjustments with reliable pneumatic power.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X70TC the Right Cylinder?
For a step down in force, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC160 bore yields 10053 N. This TC variant ships with the F-SC125TC centre trunnion bracket and TCM1, allowing the cylinder to swing in a single plane—ideal for articulating mechanisms. The 70 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 125 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional interchange with another AirTAC SC125 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC125X70TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approximately 72.5 psi), the cylinder produces 6136 N pushing force and 5734 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
Not directly. The TC suffix means the cylinder body is designed to pivot on a centre trunnion bracket (F-SC125TC with TCM1). Replacing it with a foot-mounted (LB) or basic cylinder would change the mounting geometry and load path, potentially causing binding. You must match the TC mounting type for a drop-in replacement.
