About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SH
The SC160X150SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial automation. With a 160 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, it generates 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The ‘H’ suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments like foundries or autoclaves. The port thread is standard PT3/4.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SH Is Used
Heavy Pressing & Stamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for powering large pneumatic presses, riveting machines, and metal-forming tools in manufacturing cells.
High-Temperature Automation
With Viton seals rated for 0–150 °C, this cylinder reliably operates in autoclaves, drying ovens, and near heat sources where standard seals would degrade.
Palletising & Heavy Lifting
The 40 mm rod and 150 mm stroke provide a stable lift for palletising heavy bags or boxes, and the built-in magnet allows sensor confirmation of each cycle.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 for heavy-duty pressing, clamping, or lifting where force requirements exceed the SC125’s 11045 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your application requires less force, stepping down to an SC125 bore reduces air consumption while still providing over 6000 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five critical points: 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the Viton seal material for high-temperature operation.
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 SC160X150SH 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.
No. The SC160X150SH is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. For load-holding safety, you must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical rod lock.
