About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300
The SC160X1300 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a 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 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, this model is built to manage heavy loads with controlled deceleration at the end of its 1300 mm stroke.
This genuine AirTAC cylinder features a PT3/4 port and an M36x2 rod thread for secure tooling attachment. The body length A is 239 mm, making the total extended length approximately 1539 mm. Its TPU seals with NBR O-rings provide reliable operation within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300 Is Used
Heavy Agricultural Machinery
Provides the high force required for lifting and tilting mechanisms on harvesters and large-scale tillage equipment, reliably operating in dusty conditions.
Industrial Waste Compactors
Generates the necessary 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa to drive compaction rams, efficiently reducing the volume of industrial waste and recyclable materials.
Heavy-Duty Material Handling
Powers large transfer carts and pusher systems in steel mills or foundries, moving heavy coils or castings with a controlled, cushioned stroke.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 125 mm bore SC125 series, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a higher force is necessary, the 200 mm bore SC200 series offers 15708 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, and basic mounting when replacing this cylinder.
Given the 1300 mm stroke, careful management of side loads is critical to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For applications with any off-axis force, it is strongly recommended to use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration to absorb the bending moment and protect the rod and seals.
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 SC160X1300 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
A long, unsupported stroke is vulnerable to side loading, which can bend the 40 mm rod and damage the bearing. You must either ensure the load is guided externally with a linear rail or rod, or mount the cylinder with a centre trunnion (TC) to allow it to pivot and self-align, preventing bending moments from being transmitted to the rod.
