About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130STC
The SC160X130STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 160 mm bore and 130 mm stroke make it a compact yet powerful workhorse for pressing, clamping, and heavy-duty linear actuation.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC160TC) allows the cylinder to pivot freely under swinging loads. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust guidance and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130STC Is Used
Heavy Part Transfer
Pushes or lifts large castings and fabrications on indexing conveyors, using the trunnion mount to follow an arcing transfer path.
Industrial Press Feed
Provides the high force needed to feed blanks into a stamping press, with magnetic sensors confirming full extension and retraction for die protection.
Sawmill Log Clamping
Clamps logs firmly against a fence during cutting; the adjustable cushion absorbs the high kinetic energy of the clamp arm closing at speed.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X130STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 when your application needs a force class around 10000 N at standard plant air pressure. If you can step down to a 125 mm bore, the SC125 delivers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa and may reduce your footprint and air consumption. For a force increase, the SC200 provides 15708 N at the same pressure.
For a 130 mm stroke, side-load bending on the 40 mm rod is typically not a concern in purely axial applications, but any off-axis load should be managed with an external guide. When replacing an existing cylinder, match these five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
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 SC160X130STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it produces 10053 N push and 9425 N pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force rises to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and its body length (A=239 mm) is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder matching the bore, stroke, PT ports, TC mount, and magnet option.
