About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210S
The SC160X210S is a double-acting pneumatic 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. With a 210 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where consistent, filtered-air power is required.
This genuine AirTAC SC series cylinder features a built-in magnet (suffix -S), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, while the PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure robust pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates over 18000 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for large-scale assembly presses, forming jigs, and industrial welding fixtures requiring consistent, high-force hold.
Material Handling & Lift Gates
Provides the muscle for lifting heavy totes, actuating diverter gates on wide conveyors, or pushing pallets in automated logistics systems where a 210 mm stroke is needed.
Sawmill & Wood Processing
Delivers the rugged force and stroke for log stops, board flippers, and heavy-duty sorting mechanisms in dusty environments, with sensor feedback via the built-in magnet.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X210S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application needs between 9425 N (pull at 0.5 MPa) and 18095 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or longer, always evaluate side-load conditions; the 40 mm rod is stiff, but an external guide or guided cylinder is recommended if the load is not perfectly axial to prevent rod bearing wear.
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 SC160X210S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X210S indicates a built-in magnet. This allows you to clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
