About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1050S
The SC160X1050S is a heavy-duty 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 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, it decelerates large inertial loads smoothly, making it suitable for demanding industrial sequences.
This model includes the factory-built -S magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 1050 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 160 mm bore, and the total extended body length is approximately 1289 mm. Ports are PT3/4 with an M36x2 rod thread.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1050S Is Used
Sawmill Log Flippers
The 18095 N thrust at 0.9 MPa powers heavy log turning and positioning arms. The adjustable cushion absorbs the impact of large timber cants, and the -S magnet provides end-of-stroke confirmation in dusty mill environments.
Bulk Fertilizer Gate Control
Operates large slide gates on hoppers and silos. The 1050 mm stroke provides full gate travel for high-volume material discharge, while the built-in magnet allows sensors to verify open/closed positions remotely.
Heavy Pallet Transfer Systems
Pushes 2-tonne pallets across roller conveyors in automated warehouses. The 40 mm rod resists buckling under the long 1050 mm stroke, and the tie-rod construction allows for easy field maintenance.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1050S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires between 10053 N and 18095 N of push force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore saves space and air consumption, offering 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 1050 mm, always check for potential side loading; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the 40 mm rod and rod bearing from bending moments.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 1050 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor mounting, and the basic tie-rod mounting configuration. This SC model is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those profiles.
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 SC160X1050S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X1050S indicates a built-in magnetic piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect stroke end or intermediate positions without additional brackets.
