About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000SH
The SC160X1000SH is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a powerful 10053 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, rising to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 1000 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy industrial linear motion tasks that require high force over a substantial working distance.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise, non-contact position feedback along the entire 1000 mm stroke. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150°C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments like foundries or autoclaves. The body length A is 239 mm, resulting in a total extended length of 1239 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000SH Is Used
Sawmill & Log Handling
Provides the high force needed for log clamping, positioning, and kicker arms in sawmill operations. The Viton seals handle the hot, dusty environment.
Heavy-Duty Material Lifting
Ideal for scissor lifts and heavy load elevators in warehouses, where the 1-meter stroke and 18 kN of force at 0.9 MPa can raise substantial palletized goods.
Industrial Press Feed
Used to index heavy steel plates or dies into a press. The built-in magnet allows for mid-stroke deceleration and precise stop-point sensing via CMSG sensors.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000SH the Right Cylinder?
The SC160 bore generates 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa, filling the gap between the SC125 (6136 N) and SC200 (15708 N). If your application requires less force, stepping down to an SC125 can reduce air consumption and cost. For higher force, the SC200 provides a significant jump. When deploying a 1000 mm stroke, always assess side-loading risks. The 40 mm rod is robust, but an unsupported long stroke can experience bending moments under off-center loads. For such applications, an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearings and ensure reliable service life. To replace an existing unit, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style.
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 SC160X1000SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 14074 N. The pull force on the return stroke is lower due to the 40 mm rod diameter, providing 9425 N at 0.5 MPa. Always apply a safety factor for dynamic loads.
No. The SC160X1000SH is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop its load if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. To hold a position without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
