About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400S
The SC160X1400-S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 1400 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy-duty linear applications that require substantial force over a long travel distance.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing impact and noise. The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke position feedback. The body length A is 239 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1639 mm.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Pushing, pulling, or lifting heavy pallets and components on conveyor systems or lift-assist stations, where the 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa easily manages large inertial loads.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
Operating large gates, chutes, or press mechanisms on farming equipment, benefiting from the long 1400 mm stroke and robust tie-rod construction in dusty environments.
Industrial Press Feed Systems
Positioning heavy steel sheets or molds into large hydraulic or mechanical presses, using the built-in magnet for precise sensor-based stroke confirmation at each cycle.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1400S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa in a lighter package. If your load exceeds 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, consider moving up to the 200 mm bore SC200 series, which offers 15708 N. At a 1400 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: the 160 mm bore, the 1400 mm stroke, the PT3/4 port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no accessory bracket), and the presence of the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This ensures a direct dimensional and functional swap with another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod unit.
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 SC160X1400S 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 SC160X1400-S is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the end of stroke; they do not lock or brake the load. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
