About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150TC
The SC160X150TC is a robust double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to a substantial 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. The integrated centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for applications where the load moves through an arc.
This cylinder features a tie-rod construction that is shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile, saving valuable machine space. It includes an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing noise and vibration. The standard PT1/4 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure straightforward integration into existing pneumatic circuits.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150TC Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large weldments or castings during machining or assembly processes.
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing, making it perfect for actuating heavy diverter gates or sorting paddles on high-capacity conveyor systems.
Press and Forming Tools
Provides the high, consistent force needed for light-duty pressing, bending, or forming operations in dedicated production machinery.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X150TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a force class between the SC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the larger SC200 (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa). The centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC160TC), is the correct choice for a pivoting cylinder where the mounting point is mid-body. For a direct, drop-in replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches the 160 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT port thread, and the TC mounting style.
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 SC160X150TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC160X150TC will drift or drop its load if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of its stroke. To hold a load safely, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
