About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300STC
The AirTAC SC160X1300STC is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for heavy linear force applications. With a 160 mm bore and a 1300 mm stroke, it generates a substantial 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 moving large structural elements or heavy press tooling.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the barrel for contactless position feedback. It ships with a centre trunnion mount (TC) and the TCM1 bracket, enabling the cylinder to pivot during its stroke for swinging or articulating load paths.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300STC Is Used
Heavy Press Tooling
Delivers up to 18095 N of push force at 0.9 MPa for stamping, forming, or clamping large workpieces in industrial presses.
Automated Welding Positioners
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, ideal for tilting or rotating heavy weld fixtures through a 1300 mm stroke arc.
Log & Timber Handling
Provides the long, powerful stroke needed for log kickers, stackers, and transfer carriages in sawmill and wood processing lines.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1300STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires push forces in the 10053-18095 N range. If a 1300 mm stroke is near the limit of your guided structure, stepping up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N at 0.5 MPa) provides greater force and a thicker rod, but the SC160 remains the lighter choice if force is sufficient. For any stroke over 300 mm, especially with a 40 mm rod, side loads must be managed with an external guide or linear rail system to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 1300 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile; it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders. Only the SC series large bores (125-250) align with the ISO 6430 class.
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 SC160X1300STC 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.
No. The SC160 is a double-acting cylinder and does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end; it is not a brake. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
