About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130
The AirTAC SC160X130 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and a 130 mm stroke, this model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads and PT3/4 ports, making it suitable for heavy-duty linear actuation tasks.
This cylinder includes an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing impact and noise at the end of each stroke. The body length A is 239 mm, leading to a compact extended length for its force class. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it is rated for temperatures from -20 to +70 °C with standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130 Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates over 10,000 N of force at standard line pressure, ideal for powering heavy-duty clamping fixtures, punch presses, and material forming jigs in metal fabrication.
Pallet Lifting & Transfer
With a 130 mm stroke and high force output, this cylinder reliably lifts and transfers heavy pallets or engine blocks between conveyor stations in automated logistics and assembly lines.
Construction Equipment Actuation
Used in compact construction machinery attachments for tasks like stabilizer leg deployment or bucket gate control, where a rugged tie-rod design withstands harsh, dusty environments.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a push force above 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, which is the limit of the smaller SC125 bore. If your load demands more than 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, step up to the SC200 bore which provides 15708 N. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, always evaluate side-loading on the 40 mm rod and consider an external guide or guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key specifications: the 160 mm bore, the 130 mm stroke, the PT3/4 port thread type, the basic mounting configuration (no accessory bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is a non-ISO 15552 tie-rod design and is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC160 of the same stroke.
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 SC160X130 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the stroke end. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
