About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150STC
The SC160X150STC is a robust double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 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 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 150 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy industrial tasks requiring significant force in a compact linear motion package.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection. The integrated TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC160TC) allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for applications where the load moves through an arc. It features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion and PT1/2 ports.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150STC Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, perfect for powerful clamping fixtures, stamping operations, and assembly presses that demand high, repeatable force.
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot smoothly, making it a reliable actuator for heavy-duty diverters, gates, and sorting mechanisms on large conveyor systems.
Material Forming Equipment
Ideal for actuating bending and forming tools in metal, plastic, or wood processing machinery, where the 40 mm rod provides excellent rigidity against side loads during the stroke.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure. This 150 mm stroke is well within the standard range for the 160 mm bore, ensuring quick availability.
When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a precise 5-point match: 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not a dimensional interchange for that standard.
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 SC160X150STC 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 increases to 18095 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It will not drop-in replace an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting.
