About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200TC
The AirTAC SC160X200TC is a double-acting tie-rod 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. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 200 mm stroke suit medium-travel, high-force clamping and pressing operations.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during actuation. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact in demanding industrial cycles.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200TC Is Used
Heavy Material Transfer
Pivots a large transfer arm on a conveyor line, using the TC trunnion mount to swing heavy pallets or engine blocks between stations with controlled 10053 N force at standard line pressure.
Industrial Compaction
Drives a compaction plate in waste or recycling machinery, applying up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa to densify material against a rigid backstop, leveraging the cylinder's high force capacity.
Weldment Clamping
Powers a pivoting clamp arm in a robotic welding cell, holding large fabrications steady during automated joining. The trunnion mount accommodates the arc of the clamp linkage.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X200TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires push forces in the 10000-18000 N range. If a lower force suffices, stepping down to the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 200 mm stroke is well within the standard range, but always verify side-load conditions. The 40 mm rod is robust, yet for strokes over 300 mm or significant lateral forces, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments. For direct replacement, match bore (160 mm), stroke (200 mm), PT port thread, centre trunnion mounting, and ensure the magnet option (-S) is absent unless your sensors require it.
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 SC160X200TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar), the theoretical push force is 14074 N, and the pull force on the return stroke is 9425 N. These values are calculated from the 160 mm bore and 40 mm rod diameter.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. The SC160X200TC is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and centre trunnion (TC) mounting.
