About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220
The AirTAC SC160X220 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force, scaling up to a powerful 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 220 mm stroke, a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads, and a PT3/4 port for reliable air supply. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-speed cycles. Its body length A is 239 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 459 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220 Is Used
Heavy Press & Forming
Provides the high clamping and pressing forces (up to 18095 N) needed in hydraulic replacement, stamping, and metal forming jigs.
Material Handling Lift
Powers lift tables and heavy-duty vertical actuators, reliably raising and lowering loads with its 9425 N pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Large Valve Actuation
Operates large industrial gate or butterfly valves in processing plants, where the 160 mm bore provides the necessary torque through a linkage.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between 10053 N and 18095 N. For a step down in force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa in a lighter package. To ensure a straightforward replacement, match five key specifications: 160 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the absence of a magnet.
For this 220 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is well-supported against bending under pure axial loads. However, if the load applies any significant side force, an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bearing wear 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 SC160X220 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N. The force increases linearly with pressure, reaching a maximum push force of 18095 N at 0.9 MPa.
No, the SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in replacement. It is a direct match for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with the same 220 mm stroke, PT3/4 port, and basic mounting.
