About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1500TC
The AirTAC SC160X1500TC is a double-acting tie-rod 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 1500 mm stroke and a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod, this ISO 6430 class cylinder is built for heavy-duty linear tasks requiring long travel.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot and absorb angular misalignment in swinging applications. The adjustable air cushion at each end, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact, while the PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread provide secure, high-flow connections.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1500TC Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
The 18095 N force at 0.9 MPa provides immense clamping power for welding fixtures and large assembly jigs, ensuring parts remain securely fixed during fabrication.
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
With a 1500 mm stroke, this cylinder is ideal for pushing heavy pallets or large components between conveyor lines, where the centre trunnion mount allows for a pivoting, self-aligning motion.
Swing Gate Actuation
The TC trunnion mount is purpose-built for operating heavy swing gates or diverters in aggregate and mining chutes, where the cylinder must pivot to follow the gate's arc.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1500TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application demands forces in the 10053 N (push at 0.5 MPa) range. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces the push force to 6136 N at the same pressure. For even heavier loads, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Always match the bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mount, and non-magnetic specification when replacing an existing cylinder.
At a 1500 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For this long-stroke application, ensure the load is guided externally on linear rails or rods, and never use the cylinder rod as the sole support for a cross-load. The centre trunnion mount helps manage the cylinder's own weight and dynamic forces, but external guidance remains critical for rod and bearing life.
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 SC160X1500TC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
