About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100S
The AirTAC SC160X100S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm stroke, this model provides a compact yet powerful linear motion solution for heavy industrial tasks.
The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure robust performance and smooth deceleration. A built-in magnet is integrated into the piston, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high force needed to operate clamping and forming tools in stamping presses, with sensor feedback confirming each cycle.
Material Handling Pushers
Pushes heavy pallets or large components off a conveyor line, with the magnet enabling end-of-stroke detection for automated sequencing.
Dock Leveler Positioning
Positions heavy dock leveler lips or vehicle restraints, where the 100 mm stroke offers precise control and the sensor confirms locked status.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore SC series provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a longer stroke is required, the SC160 bore supports standard strokes up to 1500 mm. This cylinder is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder matching the 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, and built-in magnet 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 SC160X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 18095 N.
Yes. The '-S' suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel.
