About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175TC
The SC160X175TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial tasks. With a 160 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, it generates a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, using a rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a centre trunnion mounting (TC) with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation—ideal for applications where the load moves through an arc. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of stroke, reducing impact stress and noise in high-cycle systems.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175TC Is Used
Heavy Conveyor Diverters
Pivots large diverter gates on mining or aggregate conveyors. The trunnion mount absorbs the swinging motion while the 10053 N force handles heavy material flow.
Industrial Press Feed
Positions steel sheets into large stamping presses. The 40 mm rod resists buckling under the push force, and the adjustable cushion protects tooling at end of stroke.
Hydraulic Cylinder Test Stands
Applies a controlled counter-force for testing large hydraulic cylinders. The 18095 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa provides a reliable, clean pneumatic load source.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X175TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a push force around 10053 N at standard 0.5 MPa shop air. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces the force to 6136 N at the same pressure, saving space and air consumption. For heavier demands, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
For a 175 mm stroke, the standard tie-rod construction provides solid alignment, but always ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion mount (F-SC160TC), and confirm whether a magnet sensor is needed (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC160X175TC 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, the push force increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
