About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175
The AirTAC SC160X175 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 175 mm stroke suit medium-travel clamping, pressing, and heavy-duty material handling tasks where high force density is required.
This model features a 239 mm body length (A dimension) and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT3/4 port thread and M36x2 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections and tooling attachment.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175 Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
The 18095 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa powers forming, stamping, and assembly press tools requiring consistent, high-force linear motion in a compact footprint.
Palletising & Bulk Handling
Use the SC160X175 to lift, tilt, or push heavy pallets and bulk containers. The 40 mm rod resists buckling under the high push forces typical in logistics automation.
Clamping & Fixturing
Ideal for heavy-duty CNC fixture clamping, the adjustable cushion protects the workpiece and tooling from impact shock, ensuring repeatable, gentle contact at stroke end.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires the full 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, this SC160 is correctly sized. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. For strokes over 300 mm, external guides are recommended to protect the rod bearing from side loads, but at 175 mm this model is well within standard unsupported limits for axial loads.
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 SC160X175 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in interchange. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC160 cylinder or a tie-rod cylinder matching the 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT3/4 ports, and basic mounting configuration.
