About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100S
The AirTAC SC160X1100S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. With a 160 mm bore and 1100 mm stroke, it generates 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for pressing, clamping, and material handling tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise position feedback. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide robust guidance and smooth deceleration, while the PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure secure pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Operates lift tables and transfer stations in warehouses, using the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably move palletized loads up to 1100 mm.
Industrial Pressing
Provides up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for assembly presses and forming jigs. The built-in magnet enables sensor-based stroke confirmation for quality control.
Automated Sawmill Carriage
Positions heavy log carriages with a 1100 mm stroke. The adjustable cushion decelerates the high-inertia load, and external guides protect the 40 mm rod from side forces.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1100S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires between 10053 N and 18095 N of push force. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 1100 mm, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending moments on the 40 mm rod, which can damage the rod bearing and seals.
For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 1100 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. 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 SC160X1100S 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.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet along the barrel. This allows you to clamp compatible CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder body to detect piston position without additional brackets.
