About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1108S
The AirTAC SC160X1108S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are built to manage heavy linear loads with controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 1108 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 160 mm bore, and the total extended body length is approximately 1347 mm (body length A of 239 mm + stroke).

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1108S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Push-pull actuators for palletisers and transfer stations, where 10 kN of force at 0.5 MPa reliably moves loaded pallets and heavy steel components.
Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 18095 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for large weld fixtures, assembly presses, and woodworking glue-up stations requiring a long 1108 mm stroke.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates chute diverters, hopper doors, and large gate valves on harvesters and processing lines, with sensor feedback from the built-in magnet confirming open/closed position.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1108S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If more force is required, stepping up to the 200 mm bore SC200 series delivers 15708 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders across five points: bore (160 mm), stroke (1108 mm), port thread (PT3/4), mounting accessory (basic, no bracket), and magnet option (must be -S for sensor compatibility).
At 1108 mm stroke, the piston rod is fully supported by the front bearing and piston, but any external side load can cause rod bending or bearing wear. For guided motion, consider pairing this cylinder with an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder unit to protect the rod and seals over millions of cycles.
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 SC160X1108S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 10053 N and pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, 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 in the piston, making this cylinder directly compatible with AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG series sensors that clamp onto the barrel tie-rods.
