About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SFA
The SC160X200SFA is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa (up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). This model combines a 160 mm bore with a 200 mm stroke, making it a powerful actuator for heavy-duty industrial tasks. The built-in magnet allows for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors on the barrel for precise, contactless position feedback.
This specific configuration includes an FA front rectangular flange (part code F-SC160FA) for secure panel or end-face mounting, providing a rigid and stable installation. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end ensure smooth deceleration of high-inertia loads. Operating on standard PT ports (PT3/4), this cylinder is built for reliability with a TPU seal package suitable for a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SFA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Provides up to 18095 N of force for powerful clamping, pressing, and riveting operations in heavy manufacturing cells, with sensor confirmation of tool position.
Material Forming & Bending
Ideal for actuating forming dies and bending brakes, where the high force output and front flange mounting provide a rigid, stable platform for shaping sheet metal or composites.
Large Gate & Diverter Actuation
Controls heavy chute gates and material diverters in mining or aggregate processing, using the magnetic piston for end-of-stroke detection to sequence material flow reliably.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SFA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 for applications demanding forces in the 10000-18000 N range. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a direct, drop-in replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches all five critical points: 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the -S built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
For this 200 mm stroke, the rigid 40 mm rod and front flange mounting provide excellent resistance to side loads. However, for strokes of 300 mm or more, always assess the potential for rod bending under lateral forces. In such cases, an external guide system or a guided cylinder should be implemented to protect the rod bearings and ensure long service life.
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 SC160X200SFA FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 18095 N.
This SC160X200SFA is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder that has a 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT3/4 ports, an FA front flange mount, and a built-in magnet (-S suffix). It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
