About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160
The AirTAC SC160X160 single-rod double-acting cylinder delivers a substantial 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and 160 mm stroke, this model features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and an M36x2 knuckle thread, making it well-suited for heavy-duty linear actuation tasks where high force is required in a compact tie-rod body.
This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder includes a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke end, reducing impact and extending service life. The total extended body length is approximately 399 mm (239 mm body length A plus 160 mm stroke). It operates on filtered air within a -20 to +70 °C range using standard TPU/NBR seals and connects via a PT3/4 port.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high push force needed for operating clamping fixtures and forming tools in industrial presses, where the 18095 N thrust at 0.9 MPa ensures secure part holding.
Pallet Stop and Lift
Ideal for heavy-duty pallet handling on conveyor lines, using its 10053 N force at standard shop air to lift, stop, or divert loaded pallets reliably in material handling systems.
Industrial Valve Actuation
Delivers the consistent, high-force linear motion required to operate large quarter-turn or gate valves in processing plants, leveraging the robust 40 mm rod for direct coupling.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X160 when your application needs the force class of a 160 mm bore, providing 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force is acceptable, stepping down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce size and cost. For a 160 mm stroke, side loading is generally not a primary concern, but always ensure the load is axially aligned with the rod to prevent premature bearing wear and seal failure.
For direct replacement, match five key specifications: 160 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (if any), and the magnet option. This basic model uses the standard PT thread and has no built-in magnet or mounting brackets.
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 SC160X160 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder design that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 160 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, and PT3/4 port.
