About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X10
The SC160X10 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, it is built for applications that need a massive force output in a very compact linear movement, such as heavy clamping or pressing.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/4 ports. The total extended body length is approximately 278 mm, combining the 239 mm body length A with the 10 mm stroke. Its adjustable pneumatic cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, effectively decelerates the high-inertia load at the end of the stroke.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X10 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large workpieces during machining or welding operations.
Industrial Pressing
Ideal for short-stroke pressing, stamping, or riveting tasks where a compact, high-force actuator is required.
Material Stops
Acts as a powerful end-stop or kicker on heavy-duty conveyor lines, reliably positioning pallets or large components.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X10 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring this force class but a longer stroke, the SC160 series supports strokes up to 1500 mm. If a slightly lower force is acceptable, stepping down to an SC125 bore reduces the push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Ensure a 5-point match when replacing an existing cylinder: 160 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet. For any stroke over 300 mm, use an external guide to protect the rod from side-load bending.
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 SC160X10 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160X10 cylinder generates a theoretical push force of 14074 N. The maximum force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N.
No. The SC160X10 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
