About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130S
The AirTAC SC160X130S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model features a 130 mm stroke, a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads, and a robust tie-rod construction that is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder.
The integrated magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. With adjustable air cushioning at both ends (29 mm cushion length) and a PT3/8 port, it is built for reliable deceleration of high-inertia loads.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generating up to 18095 N of force, the SC160X130S is ideal for pneumatic presses, heavy-duty clamping fixtures, and riveting stations where high force in a compact stroke is essential.
Material Handling Gates
The 130 mm stroke and magnetic piston sensing suit diverter gates and heavy part stops on wide conveyors, providing reliable end-of-stroke confirmation to the PLC.
Tensioning & Forming
Used in web tensioning systems or metal-forming jigs, this cylinder's adjustable cushion smoothly decelerates the high-inertia load, preventing shock transfer to the machine frame.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 6280 N and 18095 N. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, the basic mounting style, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. For strokes over 300 mm, always verify side-load conditions; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the 40 mm rod and rod bearing from bending moments.
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 SC160X130S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code confirms a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the barrel's sensor groove for contactless position sensing.
