About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X140S
The SC160X140S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 140 mm stroke, delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and M36x2 rod thread, the cylinder handles high-force applications. The body length A is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X140S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for industrial pressing, riveting, and high-force clamping fixtures in automotive or metal fabrication lines.
Material Handling & Lifting
Provides 10053 N at 0.5 MPa to lift and transfer heavy pallets, engine blocks, or steel sheets on conveyor systems and lift tables.
Sawmill & Wood Processing
Actuates log stops, board flippers, and heavy gates in sawmills. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback for sequencing in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X140S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application needs push force in the 10000 N range at standard plant pressure. If you require less force, step down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa). For even higher force, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders by bore, stroke, PT port thread, and the -S magnet option.
For this 140 mm stroke, side loading is not a primary concern, but always ensure the load is guided externally if any lateral force is present. The 40 mm rod is robust, but tie-rod cylinders are designed for axial loads. Confirm the F-SC160 mounting accessory matches your existing setup if brackets are needed.
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 SC160X140S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 2050 kgf. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. You can directly clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the barrel's tie-rod slots for contactless position sensing without additional brackets.
