The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC125X875S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 875mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC125X875S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa (11045 N at 0.9 MPa). With an 875 mm stroke and a 32 mm diameter piston rod, this model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) that allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing.
This 125 mm bore cylinder belongs to the ISO 6430 class with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s. The adjustable air cushion at each end (28 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly. The body length A is 203 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1078 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with filtered air.

The 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa moves large steel fabrications or castings along an 875 mm transfer line, with magnetic sensors confirming end-of-stroke.
Pushes a full layer of boxes onto a pallet stack. The long 875 mm stroke reaches across a standard pallet width, and the adjustable cushion protects the load from jarring.
Ejects formed panels from a stamping press. The built-in magnet signals the retract position to the press control, enabling a safe interlock cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
For applications needing slightly less force, the 100 mm bore SC100 series provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. If more force is required, step up to the 160 mm bore SC160 which delivers 10053 N at the same pressure. The 875 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 125.
At this stroke length, the 32 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod bearing and seals. When replacing, match exactly: 125 mm bore, 875 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and any mounting accessory.
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, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors can be mounted directly on the barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
