About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200CA
The AirTAC SC160X200CA is a double-acting, tie-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It features a 40 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and vibration in heavy-duty cycles.
This model is configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, part F-SC160CA, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation for applications with angular motion. The standard PT port thread is 3/4 inch, and the rod thread is M36x2. With a body length A of 239 mm, the total extended length is approximately 439 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200CA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Provides up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for industrial pressing, riveting, and high-force clamping fixtures in manufacturing cells.
Material Forming Assist
Delivers consistent, controlled thrust for bending, punching, or forming assist operations on sheet metal and composite materials.
Pivoting Diverter Gates
The rear CA clevis mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for actuating heavy diverter gates or flippers on conveyor systems.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between 10053 N (at 0.5 MPa) and 18095 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For higher forces, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure.
For this 200 mm stroke, side-loading is a moderate concern. Ensure the load is guided externally and aligned axially with the rod to prevent bending moments on the 40 mm rod and premature bearing wear. When replacing this cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a 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 SC160X200CA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, mounting, and port thread.
