About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000S
The SC160X1000S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial actuation. At 0.5 MPa it provides 10053 N push and 9425 N pull, rising to a maximum theoretical force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are engineered for high-cycle durability.
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 precise position feedback. With a 1000 mm stroke and a body length A of 239 mm, the total extended length reaches 1239 mm. The standard PT1/2 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure robust pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Operates clamping and forming tools in large stamping presses, where the 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa provides the necessary tonnage for metal forming operations.
Pallet Lifting and Transfer
Drives lift mechanisms in pallet handling systems. The 1000 mm stroke elevates heavy loads between conveyor levels, with sensor feedback ensuring precise positioning.
Industrial Damper Control
Positions large dampers and diverter gates in material processing lines. The adjustable cushion decelerates the high-inertia load smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the gate structure.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 for applications requiring force in the 10,000 N class at standard plant air pressure. If your load is lighter, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, offering a more compact and economical alternative. For higher forces, the SC200 bore steps up to 15708 N at the same pressure.
For this 1000 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side-load conditions. Long, unsupported strokes on a single-rod cylinder can create high bending moments on the rod bearing. Use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration to absorb transverse forces and prevent premature seal and bearing wear. When replacing, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC160X1000S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160 bore generates a theoretical push force of 14074 N. The pull force on the return stroke is slightly lower due to the 40 mm rod area, delivering 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X1000S designates a built-in magnetic piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors to be clamped directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel for non-contact position detection.
