About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X300SH
The SC160X300SH is a heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic 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. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are engineered for high-force industrial tasks, providing smooth deceleration even under substantial inertial loads.
This model features a built-in magnet (S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The H suffix specifies Viton (FKM) seals, extending the operating temperature range to 0–150°C, making it suitable for hot environments such as foundries or autoclaves.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X300SH Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Operates clamping and forming tools in hydraulic-style press applications, where the 18095 N force at 0.9 MPa and Viton seals withstand radiant heat from the tooling.
Hot Material Conveyor Diverters
Drives diverter gates on conveyor systems handling hot materials like asphalt or castings, with the 0–150°C seal rating ensuring reliability near heat sources.
Autoclave & Sterilizer Actuation
Positions heavy doors or racks inside industrial autoclaves, where the Viton seals maintain integrity through repeated high-temperature steam cycles.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X300SH the Right Cylinder?
When selecting a cylinder for a 300 mm stroke, consider the rod bearing support, especially if side loads are present. For this 160 mm bore, the 40 mm rod is robust, but external guides are recommended for any off-axis force. If lower force is acceptable, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa; for maximum force, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N. For a direct replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount, and the -S magnet option. The Viton seal must be specified for high-temperature compatibility.
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 SC160X300SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 10053 N and the pull force is 9425 N (accounting for the 40 mm rod area). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC160X300SH is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve centers, the piston will drift. For load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
