About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X265S
The AirTAC SC160X265S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 265 mm stroke, engineered for heavy industrial linear motion. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N on the pull stroke, with a maximum theoretical force of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel for contactless position sensing. This model uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread, PT3/4 port connections, and an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X265S Is Used
Palletizer & Depalletizer Arms
The 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy case and bag lifting on end-of-line palletizing stations, with the magnetic piston enabling layer-height detection via barrel-mounted sensors.
Heavy Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 18095 N of clamping thrust at 0.9 MPa for industrial presses, welding jigs, and injection mould tool actuation where consistent holding force is critical.
Balers & Compactors
Suited for waste and recycling baler rams requiring a robust 160 mm bore cylinder. The adjustable cushion protects the end caps during high-cycle compacting strokes.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X265S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application needs push force in the 10000 N range at standard plant air pressure; the next step down is the SC125 bore delivering 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N push. For this 265 mm stroke on a 40 mm rod, ensure the load is guided and free of side forces—long unsupported rods can bend under lateral loads, so use an external guide or a guided cylinder if side loading is present.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match all five critical points: 160 mm bore, 265 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This SC model is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC160X265S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder produces 10053 N pushing out and 9425 N pulling in. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf (approx. 20100 N).
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, so AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors can be clamped onto the tie-rod barrel for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback without additional brackets.
