About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100SH
The SC160X100SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force in a compact tie-rod body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 10053 N and pulls with 9425 N, rising to 18095 N of push thrust at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. The 100 mm stroke suits short, high-force clamping or pressing tasks.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) so CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors clamp directly onto the barrel for rod-position feedback. The -H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C for hot environments. Ports are PT3/4 with a 40 mm diameter piston rod and M36x2 rod thread.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100SH Is Used
Hot-Environment Clamping
Viton seals and 0-150°C rating make the SC160X100SH suitable for clamping fixtures inside ovens, autoclaves, or near foundry equipment where standard seals would degrade.
Heavy-Duty Pressing
With 18095 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder handles short-stroke pressing, riveting, or crimping operations on metal and composite components.
High-Force Stopping & Sorting
The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing for part stops or diverter gates on heavy-duty conveyor lines, even in elevated-temperature processing areas.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application needs 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If that exceeds your requirement, step down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) for a lighter, more compact unit. For a 100 mm stroke, side-load risk is low, but always align the rod with the load axis to protect the rod bearing.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting, and the basic (no-bracket) mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC160X100SH FAQ
At 0.7 MPa the SC160 bore generates 14074 N of push force. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf (approx. 20100 N), though the recommended operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X100SH means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect rod position without additional brackets.
