About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000TC
The AirTAC SC160X1000TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are built to manage high-inertia loads through a full 1000 mm stroke.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot as it strokes. The standard PT ports and TPU seals suit filtered-air systems operating from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000TC Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Pneumatic clamping and forming in large stamping presses, where the 18095 N thrust at 0.9 MPa securely holds tooling under high vibration.
Large Damper & Gate Drives
Operating heavy ventilation dampers or material flow gates in processing plants, using the centre trunnion mount to accommodate the arcing motion of the linkage.
Pallet & Container Lifting
Driving the lift mechanism on heavy-duty pallet lifts or container tippers, where the 1000 mm stroke provides the necessary vertical travel for loading docks.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1000TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 for heavy-duty applications where the SC125's 6136 N push force at 0.5 MPa is insufficient. For even greater force, the SC200 provides 15708 N at the same pressure. At a 1000 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads—external guide rails or a guided cylinder are strongly recommended to prevent rod bearing wear and bending under offset loads.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 160 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. This is an AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not dimensionally interchangeable with it.
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 SC160X1000TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 14074 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. Always apply a safety factor for dynamic loads.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC mount.
