The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X75S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 75mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC125X75S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a heavy-workhorse choice for pressing and clamping. Its 75 mm stroke is a standard length within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore, and the built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke detection.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 32 mm piston rod with M27x2 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (28 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-cap impact. Operating pressure spans 0.15–1.0 MPa with TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises heavy pallet stops or lift gates in material handling lines. The -S magnet lets CMSG sensors confirm gate position for interlocked conveyor control.
With 11045 N available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits weld-fixture clamping or small assembly presses. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by softening the clamp stroke end.
The 75 mm stroke provides a compact feed motion for saw carriages. Magnetic piston sensing enables precise blade-advance and retract confirmation for CNC cut-off cycles.
Choose the SC125 bore when your application needs between roughly 5700 N and 11000 N of push force. If 6136 N at 0.5 MPa is more than required, stepping down to the SC100 bore reduces push force to 3927 N at the same pressure, saving air consumption and physical space. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this 32 mm rod, evaluate side-load conditions—an external guide or guided cylinder prevents rod-bearing bending and premature seal wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 125 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT port thread, the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility, and basic mounting (no bracket). This model is a direct drop-in for another AirTAC SC125X75S tie-rod cylinder.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 6136 N and pull force is 5734 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 11045 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel tie-rod slots to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
