About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100
The AirTAC SC160X1100 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. With a 160 mm bore operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 10053 N of push force, rising to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for pressing, clamping, and lifting large assemblies.
This model features an 1100 mm stroke, a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 thread, and a body length of 239 mm. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 29 mm long, providing effective deceleration for high-inertia loads. Its PT3/8 ports supply the large air volume needed for consistent cycling.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Actuation
Provides the high push force needed for actuating blades, booms, or chutes on agricultural and construction equipment, withstanding dusty, harsh environments.
Pallet Lifting and Transfer
Handles the vertical lifting and horizontal transfer of heavy pallets in material handling systems, where the 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa easily manages multi-ton loads.
Large-Scale Pressing Jigs
Ideal for industrial pressing and holding jigs for large fabricated parts, using the full 18095 N force at 0.9 MPa for secure clamping during welding or assembly processes.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the SC200 bore offers a significant step up to 15708 N. This 1100 mm stroke is within the standard maximum of 1500 mm for the 160 bore. At this extended stroke length, the 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; always guide the load externally or use a rod-alignment coupler to prevent bearing damage and seal wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: the 160 mm bore, the 1100 mm stroke, the PT3/8 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC160X1100 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the SC160X1100 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop under load. To hold a position safely, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
