About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220S
The AirTAC SC160X220S is a robust tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 220 mm stroke, a 40 mm diameter piston rod, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion, it is built to decelerate substantial end-of-stroke loads smoothly.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG solid-state and reed sensors to be clamped directly onto the barrel for reliable, non-contact position sensing. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, the SC160X220S uses standard PT ports and TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220S Is Used
Heavy Material Transfer
Provides the high force needed to push or lift heavy pallets and components on conveyor lines, with the built-in magnet enabling precise end-of-stroke detection.
Industrial Compaction
Ideal for waste compaction or baling machinery, where the 18095 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa delivers consistent, powerful pressing force.
Automated Welding Fixtures
Securely clamps large fabrications in place. The -S magnet provides sensor feedback to the PLC, confirming the clamp is engaged before the welding cycle starts.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X220S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, stepping down to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This 160 mm bore is a powerful choice for heavy pressing and clamping. To ensure a successful replacement, match five key points: bore (160), stroke (220), port thread (PT), the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration.
At a 220 mm stroke, the rod bearing is well-supported for axial loads, but any side loading must be managed with external guides. If your application involves a pivoting movement, consider ordering this model with a TC centre trunnion mount for a fully guided, swinging installation.
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 SC160X220S 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 increases to 18095 N.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC160X220S indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be mounted externally on the cylinder barrel for position feedback without any modification.
