About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150CB
The SC160X150CB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at 0.9 MPa), making it suitable for heavy pressing and clamping tasks. This 160 mm bore model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod, a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, and a PT3/4 port for high flow.
Equipped with a rear double clevis (CB) mount, the cylinder pivots on a fork-style bracket (F-SC160CB) for articulated motion. The 150 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150CB Is Used
Heavy Agricultural Machinery
Operates pivoting chutes, hopper doors, and lifting arms on harvesters and tillage equipment, providing the high force needed for dense materials.
Industrial Press Frames
Provides the powerful, controlled linear motion for hydraulic-replacement presses in assembly, stamping, and forming operations with a clean pneumatic supply.
Bulk Material Handling Gates
Actuates heavy diverter gates and flow-control blades in mining, quarrying, and aggregate processing, handling high material loads reliably.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150CB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 for force requirements between the SC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC200 (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa). The rear CB double clevis mount allows the cylinder body to pivot, ideal for applications where the load path is not perfectly linear. For a direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the CB mounting accessory, and the absence of a magnet.
At 150 mm stroke, side-loading is generally manageable, but always ensure the rod is aligned with the load path. For strokes over 300 mm on this bore, consider an external guide rail to protect the 40 mm rod and rod bearing from bending moments.
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 SC160X150CB 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, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
It is a direct replacement for an AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with a 150 mm stroke, PT3/4 ports, and a rear double clevis (CB) mount. The mounting bracket F-SC160CB is specific to this model. If your existing cylinder has a different mounting style, you must order the corresponding suffix (e.g., FA, LB, TC) to ensure dimensional compatibility.
