About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100STC
The SC160X100STC is a heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic 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 160 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke, this model is built on a robust tie-rod construction featuring a 40 mm diameter piston rod and an M36x2 rod thread for secure tooling attachment.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion mount (TC) for pivoting applications. The trunnion is supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to swing as the load articulates. The adjustable air cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of the stroke.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100STC Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
The 18095 N force at 0.9 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for operating heavy-duty clamping fixtures and press tools in metal fabrication, where a pivoting mount is needed to follow the tooling arc.
Swinging Conveyor Gates
With its centre trunnion mount, the SC160X100STC is perfectly suited to actuate large diverter gates on aggregate or mining conveyors, allowing the cylinder body to pivot as the gate opens and closes.
Timber Mill Log Kickers
The high force output and robust 40 mm rod handle the demanding side-load conditions of kicking heavy logs off a processing line, while the magnet sensors confirm full extension and retraction for automated sequencing.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring a pivoting mount, the SC160X100STC with its integrated TC centre trunnion is the correct choice. If your force requirements are lower, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For higher force needs, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure. Always ensure the cylinder is sized with an appropriate margin for the working pressure.
To guarantee a successful replacement, match these five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensors. This tie-rod cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile and is dimensionally shorter; it is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC series cylinder with the same specifications.
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 SC160X100STC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 14074 N and the pull force is 9425 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. These calculations are based on the 160 mm bore and 40 mm piston rod diameter.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is only dimensionally interchangeable with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore, stroke, and mounting configuration. For this model, the total extended length is approximately 282 mm (body length A of 239 mm + 100 mm stroke).
