About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SH
The SC160X200SH is a large-bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial applications. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 10053 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the thrust reaches 18095 N, driven by a 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling rod-position feedback without external brackets. The 'H' suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, shifting the operating temperature range to 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for high-heat environments where standard seals would degrade.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SH Is Used
Sawmill & Wood Processing
The 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa drives log kickers and carriage feeds. Viton seals withstand the high ambient heat near drying kilns and resist degradation from wood-resin contamination.
Heavy-Duty Material Handling
Provides the high thrust needed for pallet lift stations and transfer car pushers. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to sequence conveyors reliably in dusty warehouse conditions.
Foundry & Metal Casting
Operates reliably at 0-150°C near furnaces and molten metal handling thanks to the Viton seals. The 200 mm stroke is ideal for actuating sand-ramming gates and shakeout mechanisms.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires push forces in the 10 kN class at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or longer on this bore, evaluate side-load forces carefully; the 40 mm rod is robust, but an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
To replace an existing unit, match five points: 160 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the Viton seal material. This SC tie-rod cylinder is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not a drop-in interchange for that standard.
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 SC160X200SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 10053 N and pull force is 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC160X200SH will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a locking device. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
