About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1350
The AirTAC SC160X1350 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for heavy linear thrust over a long 1350 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it already generates 10053 N pushing force, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 18095 N, placing it firmly in the high-force class for pressing, lifting, and large-gate actuation.
This model uses a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 male threads and a PT3/4 port. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the high-inertia load smoothly, while the 239 mm body length A keeps the overall extended dimension to approximately 1589 mm. It is a genuine AirTAC SC cylinder, built for reliable industrial service.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1350 Is Used
Heavy Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy pallets and steel billets across roller conveyors with 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, handling the 1350 mm travel needed for wide transfer stations.
Industrial Compaction & Baling
Drives the compaction plate in waste balers or recycling presses, using the full 1350 mm stroke to compress bulky materials into dense, manageable bales.
Large-Scale Clamping & Fixturing
Secures oversized weldments or structural assemblies in jigs, applying consistent 10053 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa across the long 1350 mm work envelope.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1350 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X1350 when your application demands thrust in the 10000-18000 N range at standard plant air pressures. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa; for even higher force, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 1350 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, and basic mounting when replacing an existing unit.
For a stroke of 1350 mm, carefully evaluate side-load conditions. The 40 mm rod is substantial, but an unsupported long stroke can still experience rod deflection under off-axis forces. If your load is not guided externally, consider adding an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod bearing and seal from premature wear.
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 SC160X1350 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, the pushing force is 10053 N and the pulling force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 160 mm bore, 1350 mm stroke, PT3/4 port, and basic mounting configuration.
