About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SFA
The SC160X150SFA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust, controlled end-of-stroke deceleration for heavy linear tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the tie-rod barrel, enabling precise position feedback. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC160FA) allows secure panel or bulkhead mounting, making it a complete sensing and actuation package from AirTAC.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SFA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for industrial presses, forming dies, and high-force clamping fixtures requiring sensor-confirmed position.
Material Handling Pushers
The 150 mm stroke and front flange mount suit heavy pallet or product pushers on conveyor lines, where the magnet confirms extend/retract status for interlocking.
Automated Assembly Machinery
Combines robust 40 mm rod strength with adjustable cushioning for inserting bearings, bushings, or large components in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SFA the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). The 150 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
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 SC160X150SFA FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet around the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
