About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X275STC
The SC160X275STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 275 mm stroke and a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks, featuring a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high inertial loads smoothly.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and is supplied with a centre trunnion mount (TC) and the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC) for pivoting applications. The body length A is 239 mm, and the standard PT1/2 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure straightforward integration into existing pneumatic circuits.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X275STC Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for powerful, controlled clamping, pressing, and riveting operations in metal fabrication cells.
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 275 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for raising heavy pallet stops or lift-and-transfer stations on automated conveyors.
Material Handling Gate
Actuates a heavy diverter gate or chute in bulk material handling, using the adjustable cushion to manage the inertia of a large steel plate without impact damage.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X275STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application demands forces in the 10053 N (push at 0.5 MPa) to 18095 N (push at 0.9 MPa) range. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, saving air consumption and physical space. For a 275 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present; the 40 mm rod is stiff, but long unsupported strokes under side load can cause rod bearing wear and seal failure.
To replace an existing cylinder, verify these five points: a 160 mm bore, a 275 mm stroke, a PT (Rc) port thread, a centre trunnion (TC) mounting style, and a built-in magnet for sensors. This model is a direct match for an AirTAC SC160X275STC tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC160X275STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical 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. These values are based on the 160 mm bore and 40 mm rod diameter.
No. The SC160 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
