About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200S
The AirTAC SC160X200S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet for barrel-mounted position sensing. It generates a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and reaches 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, placing it firmly in the heavy industrial force class.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 knuckle threads and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads. The body length A is 239 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 439 mm. Standard PT3/4 ports supply the filtered air, and the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200S Is Used
Sawmill & Timber Processing
Drives log stops, board flippers, and heavy clamping carriages in dusty sawmill environments, where the 18095 N thrust at 0.9 MPa easily handles dense hardwood timber.
Heavy Agricultural Machinery
Powers chute rotators and bale squeezers on harvesters and balers, with the built-in magnet enabling reliable end-of-stroke sensing for automated bale-wrapping sequences.
Scrap & Recycling Compactors
Actuates the compaction plate in industrial balers for cardboard, plastics, and metal cans, providing the high force needed to maximize bale density in continuous-duty cycles.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires push forces in the 10000–18000 N range at typical shop air pressures. If your load is closer to 6000 N, the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 200 mm and above on a 40 mm rod, always check for side-loading; if the load is not guided externally, consider adding a guide unit or switching to a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting style. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so it is dimensionally shorter and not interchangeable with ISO 15552 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 SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, this 160 mm bore cylinder delivers 14074 N of push force on the outstroke and 9425 N of pull force on the retract stroke. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC160X200S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
