The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X850S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 850mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X850S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 850 mm stroke suits long-travel material handling, pressing, or clamping operations where consistent force is required across the full extension.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing. The 32 mm diameter piston rod and 28 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide robust guidance and smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 port supplies ample flow for the 125 mm bore.

Moves heavy components or pallets 850 mm across a conveyor or assembly station with sensor-confirmed end-of-stroke positioning.
Applies up to 11045 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments, castings, or structural assemblies during fabrication.
Drives a high-force diverter gate in bulk material handling or logistics systems, with magnetic sensors verifying open/closed state.
The SC125X850S is an ISO 6430 class big-bore cylinder, ideal for applications needing high force without stepping up to the 160 mm bore (10053 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your load requires less force, the SC100 bore provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 850 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or rod-alignment coupler is recommended to prevent bending stress on the 32 mm rod and premature bearing wear. When replacing, match five points: 125 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your existing mounting accessory (this unit is basic, no bracket).
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 6136 N and pull force (rod side) 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 in SC125X850S indicates a built-in magnet inside the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped onto the tie-rod barrel for precise, non-contact position detection at any point along the 850 mm stroke.
