About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175STC
The AirTAC SC160X175STC is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model features a 175 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, providing the rigidity needed for moving heavy loads in industrial automation.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix), this cylinder allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. The TC suffix denotes a centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), which is ideal for applications where the cylinder must pivot during its stroke.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175STC Is Used
Heavy Pressing & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force for powerful clamping, riveting, and pressing operations in heavy manufacturing fixtures.
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, making it perfect for actuating heavy diverter gates on large material handling conveyors.
Large Part Ejection
Provides the high force needed to eject large, heavy molded parts or stampings from dies, with sensor confirmation of full retraction and extension.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 for heavy-duty force requirements; it provides 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to an SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at the same pressure. For even greater power, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
This cylinder is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod unit with matching 175 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and built-in magnet. Ensure all five points—bore, stroke, port thread, mounting accessory, and magnet option—are identical for a guaranteed fit.
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 SC160X175STC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the SC160 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of its stroke to reduce impact. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
