About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X190SH
The SC160X190SH is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 190 mm stroke, this model is well-suited for heavy-duty clamping and pressing operations, featuring a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion for reliable end-of-stroke deceleration.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise position feedback. The -H suffix specifies high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range from the standard -20 to +70°C up to 0 to +150°C, making it ideal for demanding hot environments such as foundries or autoclaves.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X190SH Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large workpieces during machining or welding, with sensor confirmation of the clamped state.
Autoclave & Sterilizer Actuation
Viton seals withstand 0-150°C, making this cylinder suitable for actuating doors or lifts in high-temperature sterilization and clean-in-place (CIP) systems.
Heavy Part Ejection
The 190 mm stroke and high force capacity are ideal for pushing heavy castings or fabricated parts off a conveyor line in a hot manufacturing environment.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X190SH the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore for applications requiring a push force around 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore which provides 6136 N of push force at the same pressure. For higher forces, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 190 mm stroke is within the standard range for this bore, which extends up to 1500 mm.
For a direct replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches on five key points: 160 mm bore, 190 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the Viton seal material. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series 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 SC160X190SH 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC160X190SH is a 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 the stroke to reduce impact. For load holding without pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
