About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1600S
The AirTAC SC160X1600S is a large-bore, double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm piston and an extended 1600 mm stroke. This model generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy-duty linear applications. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise position feedback.
This is a non-standard stroke length that exceeds the standard maximum of 1500 mm for the 160 bore, confirming it as a made-to-order configuration. The cylinder features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 port connections. An adjustable pneumatic cushion of 29 mm at each end decelerates the high inertial load smoothly, protecting the end caps during operation.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1600S Is Used
Sawmill Log Handling
Provides the high force and long stroke needed for log kickers and transfer decks in sawmills, with the magnet enabling end-of-stroke detection in dusty environments.
Heavy Agricultural Implements
Controls the chute rotation or header height on large harvesting equipment, utilizing the 18095 N max force to manage heavy, unbalanced loads.
Scrap Metal Baler Ram
Drives the compression ram in a recycling baler, where the long 1600 mm stroke and high force are required to compact bulk materials into dense bales.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X1600S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 10053 N and 18095 N. If a lower force is sufficient, stepping down to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa, which may reduce air consumption and physical footprint. For this 1600 mm stroke, side-load management is critical; the long, unsupported 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral forces, so an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration is strongly recommended to ensure bearing life and prevent rod damage.
For a direct replacement, match these five key specifications: a 160 mm bore, a 1600 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in interchange for those types.
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 SC160X1600S FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force is 14074 N and the pull force is 9425 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a body length that is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It should only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same bore, stroke, and port configuration.
