About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150LB
The SC160X150LB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 150 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks.
This configuration includes the LB foot mounting accessory (F-SC160LB) for secure surface installation. The cylinder features an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly, and uses standard PT ports and TPU seals for reliable operation in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150LB Is Used
Sawmill & Log Handling
Provides the high force needed for log clamping, positioning, and kicker arms in sawmill operations, with the LB foot mount ensuring a rigid, fixed installation.
Heavy Agricultural Machinery
Actuates chute deflectors, hopper doors, and lift mechanisms on harvesters and spreaders, reliably handling dirty, high-vibration environments.
Recycling Baler & Compactor
Drives the compression rams in balers for cardboard, plastics, or metal scrap, where its 18095 N maximum force at 0.9 MPa compacts materials into dense, manageable bales.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150LB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between 10053 N and 18095 N. If you need less force, stepping down to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, which may allow for a smaller, more cost-effective valve and fitting package. For replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT port thread, LB foot mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
For this 150 mm stroke on a 40 mm rod, side-loading is generally not a primary concern, but always ensure the load is guided and aligned axially with the rod to prevent premature bearing and seal wear.
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 SC160X150LB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the LB foot mount is designed for a fixed, surface-mounted installation. If your application requires the cylinder body to pivot, you would need a model with a TC centre trunnion, or a CA/CB rear clevis mount. The mounting must be matched to the specific movement of your mechanism.
