About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210
The SC160X210 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 160 mm bore with a 210 mm stroke. Operating at 0.5 MPa, this unit generates a substantial push force of 10053 N, making it a powerful actuator for heavy industrial tasks. It features a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 port connections.
With a body length A of 239 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 449 mm. The cylinder includes an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. This model is built with standard TPU seals for a working temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and is a genuine AirTAC product, ensuring reliable performance in demanding pneumatic systems.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210 Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Delivers over 10000 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for hydraulic-equivalent clamping, pressing, and riveting stations in metal fabrication.
Material Handling Pushers
The 210 mm stroke and high force output efficiently move heavy pallets, large packages, or bulk materials on transfer lines and conveyor systems.
Industrial Machinery Actuation
Suited as the main linear drive in compactors, balers, and heavy-duty lifting equipment where a robust 40 mm rod and tie-rod construction are required.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N. This SC160X210 is a basic configuration without a magnet or mounting accessories, so it is ideal for direct machine integration where custom bracketry is preferred. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a precise match across five key points: 160 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the absence of a built-in magnet. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the rod from bending under side loads.
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 SC160X210 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the mounting dimensions are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, PT3/4 ports, and basic mounting.
