About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100H
The SC160X100H 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 100 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy industrial linear actuation where high force and thermal resilience are non-negotiable.
This variant is equipped with Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for autoclaves, foundries, and hot pressing equipment. The tie-rod construction with a 29 mm air cushion ensures reliable deceleration, while the PT3/4 port supplies the necessary high flow for rapid cycling of this large-bore actuator.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100H Is Used
High-Temperature Clamping
With Viton seals rated to 150°C, this cylinder reliably powers clamps and presses in autoclaves, vulcanizing machines, and composite curing ovens where standard seals would degrade.
Heavy Die Cushioning
The 18095 N max force at 0.9 MPa provides the tonnage needed for metal stamping die cushions and heavy forming operations, with the adjustable air cushion protecting tooling on each stroke.
Foundry Shakeout & Manipulators
Handles hot, heavy castings in foundry shakeout lines. The 100 mm stroke and robust 40 mm rod withstand the abrasive, high-temperature environment while positioning heavy loads.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100H the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a push force above 10000 N at standard plant pressure; if 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, stepping down to the SC100 bore can reduce air consumption and footprint. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, evaluate side-load conditions—the 40 mm rod may require an external linear guide to prevent bearing wear and rod deflection.
To ensure a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory if any, and the Viton seal designation. This model uses the standard PT port and basic mount configuration without a magnet.
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 SC160X100H FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160 bore generates 14074 N of push force on extension and 9425 N of pull force on retraction. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
A standard SC160 with TPU seals is limited to 70°C. This SC160X100H model is specifically configured with Viton (FKM) seals, rated for continuous operation from 0 to 150°C, making it the correct choice for high-temperature processes.
