About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150S
The AirTAC SC160X150S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it produces 10053 N pushing force and 9425 N pulling force, placing it in a heavy-duty thrust class suited to pressing, clamping, and large-part transfer.
This model uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 male threads, PT3/4 port connections, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The total extended body length is approximately 389 mm (body length A of 239 mm plus 150 mm stroke). Standard operating temperature range is -20 to +70 °C with the default TPU/NBR seals.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamp Fixtures
The 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic toggle clamps, assembly presses, and riveting stations where consistent high clamping pressure is critical.
Pallet Stop & Lift-and-Carry
With a 150 mm stroke and built-in magnet for end-of-stroke sensing, it reliably actuates pallet stops, lift-and-carry transfers, and heavy roller conveyor diverters in automated lines.
Tie-Rod Replacement for Machinery
Directly replaces older 160 mm bore tie-rod cylinders on injection molding core pulls, die-casting extractors, and heavy-duty material handling gates when bore, stroke, port, and magnet sensor configuration match.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application needs roughly 10 000 N of push force at standard shop air; if you can accept a lower force around 6136 N, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces weight and air consumption. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this 40 mm rod, check side-load and rod-bearing bending limits—an external linear guide or a guided cylinder may be required to prevent rod damage. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC160X150S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) the cylinder delivers 10053 N pushing force and 9425 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X150S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel tie-rods for contactless position detection without any additional brackets.
