About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160S
The AirTAC SC160X160S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 160 mm stroke is ideal for medium-travel clamping, pressing, and heavy-duty positioning tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to mount directly on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust deceleration for high-inertia loads.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
The 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa securely clamps large weldments and castings in machining fixtures, preventing movement during milling or drilling.
Industrial Pressing
Delivers up to 18095 N of push force at 0.9 MPa for bearing insertion, forming, and assembly press operations requiring a compact 160 mm stroke.
Pallet Stop & Lift
With its built-in magnet for sensor feedback, this cylinder reliably actuates heavy-duty pallet stops and lift-and-locate stations in automated conveyor lines.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X160S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the 200 mm bore SC200 series, which provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If space is constrained and less force is acceptable, the 125 mm bore SC125 series offers 6136 N at the same pressure. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC160X160S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 10053 N and pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet is integrated into the piston. This allows you to directly clamp AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors onto the cylinder barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
