About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300S
The AirTAC SC160X1300-S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 1300 mm stroke, it is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where magnetic piston sensing is required.
This model includes the -S suffix, equipping the cylinder with a built-in magnet. This allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. The adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the 40 mm rod smoothly over a 29 mm cushion length, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300S Is Used
Sawmill Log Handling
Powers carriage drives and log kickers in sawmills. The 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa and 1300 mm stroke reliably positions heavy timber, with the magnetic piston enabling sensor-based sequencing.
Heavy Agricultural Machinery
Actuates large chutes, hopper doors, and steering mechanisms on harvesters and sprayers. The tie-rod design is field-serviceable, and the -S magnet provides position confirmation for automated flow control.
Recycling Baler Compression
Drives the primary compaction ram in recycling balers. The 18095 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa compresses cardboard and plastics into dense bales, while the 29 mm cushion absorbs the shock at the end of each stroke.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 2513 N (the SC80 at 0.5 MPa) and 10053 N. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical footprint. For a 1300 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side-loading: an unsupported 40 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending and bearing wear. Use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to absorb transverse forces, preventing premature seal failure.
For a direct replacement, match five key specifications: a 160 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This ensures the new cylinder drops into the existing machine without modifying the mounting interface or sensor setup.
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 SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160 bore generates 14074 N of push force on extension and 9425 N of pull force on retraction. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X1300-S indicates a built-in magnet in the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
