About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400
The SC160X1400 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear actuation. With a 160 mm bore and 1400 mm stroke, it generates 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 pressing, clamping, and material handling tasks requiring high thrust over a long travel.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 239 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1639 mm. It uses PT3/4 ports and operates on filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400 Is Used
Heavy Pallet Transfer
Pushes or pulls loaded pallets across roller conveyors in distribution centers, using the 1400 mm stroke to bridge transfer gaps.
Industrial Waste Compaction
Drives the compaction plate in large balers or compactors, applying up to 18095 N to densify cardboard, plastics, or textile waste.
Lumber Mill Carriage Drive
Positions heavy log carriages on sawmill infeed lines, leveraging the long stroke and high force for consistent, repeatable material indexing.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application needs force in the 10000-18000 N range at typical shop air pressures. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, reducing air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
For this 1400 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal. Long, unsupported strokes on a single rod can create bending moments at the rod bearing; use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod and seals from premature wear. When replacing this cylinder, match the 160 mm bore, 1400 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the absence of a magnet to ensure a drop-in fit.
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 SC160X1400 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.
No, the SC160 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of the stroke; it is not a locking or holding brake. For position holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
