About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X135S
The AirTAC SC160X135S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy-duty linear tasks requiring substantial force in a compact tie-rod envelope. The 135 mm stroke fits medium-travel clamping, pressing, and lifting applications.
The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing without external brackets. The body length A is 239 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 374 mm. Adjustable air cushioning at both ends decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-speed or high-load cycles.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X135S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
The 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes the SC160X135S ideal for pneumatic presses, assembly jigs, and heavy-duty clamping fixtures where consistent, high force is needed over a 135 mm stroke.
Material Handling & Stops
Use this cylinder for diverting heavy packages on conveyors or as a robust pallet stop. The built-in magnet enables easy integration of sensors to confirm part presence or cylinder position.
Automated Welding & Forming
In automated welding cells or metal forming stations, the SC160X135S provides the muscle to position tooling or clamp workpieces, with sensor feedback ensuring safe, sequenced operation.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X135S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160X135S when your application needs around 10000 N of force at standard shop air pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, evaluate side-load conditions carefully; a 40 mm rod can bend under significant lateral force, so consider adding an external guide or switching to a guided cylinder assembly.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 160 mm bore, 135 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This cylinder is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC series cylinder of the same specifications.
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 SC160X135S 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet in the piston, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp directly onto the barrel's tie-rod slots.
