The AirTAC Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150CB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 150mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

Operates pivoting chutes, hopper doors, and lifting arms on harvesters and tillage equipment, providing the high force needed for dense materials.
Provides the powerful, controlled linear motion for hydraulic-replacement presses in assembly, stamping, and forming operations with a clean pneumatic supply.
Actuates heavy diverter gates and flow-control blades in mining, quarrying, and aggregate processing, handling high material loads reliably.
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
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.
