About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175S
The SC160X175S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 175 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this 160 mm bore, and the body length A of 239 mm keeps the overall extended length compact at approximately 414 mm.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for non-contact position sensing. The 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 knuckle thread provides robust linear guidance, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Provides up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for industrial pressing, riveting, and part-clamping fixtures where consistent high force is critical.
Material Handling & Lift Gates
Actuates heavy diverter gates and lift mechanisms on conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet enabling end-of-stroke confirmation to the PLC.
Tie-Rod Retrofit & OEM
Direct drop-in for existing AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinders with a magnet. The PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread match legacy mounting and plumbing.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X175S when your application requires a force output in the 10000 N class at standard shop air. If your load is significantly lower, stepping down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N push at the same pressure.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key attributes: 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor mounting, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. For strokes exceeding 300 mm, always evaluate side-load conditions—an externally guided cylinder or linear rail may be necessary to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
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 SC160X175S 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, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making the SC160X175S fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp onto the tie-rod barrel.
