About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X25
The SC160X25 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a substantial 160 mm bore with a compact 25 mm stroke. It generates a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and can reach up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for short, high-force clamping or pressing operations.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 thread and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 239 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 264 mm. Standard PT3/4 ports and TPU seals provide reliable operation in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X25 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers over 10 kN of force at 0.5 MPa for secure workpiece clamping in welding fixtures and assembly jigs with a short 25 mm stroke.
Die Press Actuation
Provides a powerful, controlled 25 mm linear push for small die presses, stamping, or riveting operations in metal fabrication cells.
Material Staking
Ideal for high-force staking, crimping, or insertion tasks where a short, repeatable stroke and robust tie-rod construction are essential.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X25 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X25 when your application demands a high force output over a very short linear distance. If the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at the same pressure. Conversely, if you need even greater force, the SC200 bore delivers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
For replacement, ensure a precise 5-point match: 160 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Always verify the body length A of 239 mm against your existing 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 SC160X25 FAQ
At 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 SC160X25 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
