About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100TC
The SC160X100TC is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod 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 rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for high-force industrial applications where a pivoting mount is essential.
This configuration includes the TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during its stroke. The body length is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at the end of travel. Standard PT ports (PT3/4) and TPU seals with a -20 to +70 C range complete the build.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100TC Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Pivots a large diverter gate on a mining or aggregate conveyor line, using the TC trunnion mount to swing the chute between two material streams.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates the main lift arm on a large bale handler or tillage implement, where the centre trunnion allows the cylinder to follow the arc of the linkage.
Industrial Press Clamping
Provides the high clamping force for a large hydraulic-style press fixture, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to self-align as the press closes.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X100TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a push force between 10053 N and 18095 N. For a step down in force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa; for a step up, the SC200 bore delivers 15708 N. This TC trunnion mount is ideal for applications where the cylinder body must pivot, such as on a rotating clamp or a tilting conveyor section.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting accessory (F-SC160TC with TCM1 bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is not an ISO 15552 profile; it is a shorter tie-rod design and is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC160 of the same 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 SC160X100TC 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. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 types. For a drop-in replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, and TC trunnion mount.
