About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X2000S
The AirTAC SC160X2000-S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and an extended 2000 mm stroke, this non-standard model is built for applications requiring a long reach and substantial force, such as large-scale material handling or structural actuation. The built-in magnet (suffix -S) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection.
This cylinder uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 port connections. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at the end of travel to reduce impact, while the TPU/NBR seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The total extended body length is approximately 2239 mm, and the maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X2000S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Transfer
Pushes or pulls loaded pallets over 2000 mm spans in automated storage and retrieval systems, leveraging 10053 N of force at standard line pressure.
Structural Welding Jigs
Positions large steel beams or frames with a 2000 mm stroke, using the built-in magnet for sensor feedback to ensure precise clamp/unclamp sequencing.
Long-Stroke Material Rejection
Actuates a sweep arm across a wide conveyor to divert heavy off-spec products, with the adjustable cushion softening the impact at full extension.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X2000S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X2000-S when your application demands a 160 mm bore for high force and a 2000 mm stroke. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to a 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce size and air consumption; for even higher force, the 200 mm bore offers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. Because the 2000 mm stroke exceeds the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, this is a made-to-order non-standard cylinder.
For strokes of this length, the 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod and bearing. For direct replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 2000 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, built-in magnet (-S), and basic mounting style to an existing AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC160X2000S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160X2000-S generates 14074 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is 9425 N, accounting for the 40 mm rod diameter.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. You must replace it with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder of the same 160 mm bore, 2000 mm stroke, PT3/4 port, and built-in magnet.
