About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X30S
The AirTAC SC160X30S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short, high-force clamping or pressing strokes. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust deceleration even in compact 30 mm stroke applications.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection. The total extended body length is approximately 269 mm, making it a space-efficient choice for heavy-duty automation tasks.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X30S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates over 10,000 N of force at 0.5 MPa to securely hold large weldments or castings during machining, with sensor confirmation of clamp position.
Die Cushion Actuation
Provides a powerful, short-stroke push for die cushion pins in stamping presses, where the adjustable air cushion protects the tooling at end-of-stroke.
Pallet Stop & Lift
Acts as a robust pallet stop or short lift in heavy conveyor systems, with the integrated magnet enabling precise sequencing signals for automated material handling.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X30S the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. When specifying a replacement, ensure an exact match on all five points: 160 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility, and the basic mounting configuration. The SC series 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 SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X30S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160X30S cylinder produces a push force of 14074 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 18095 N.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making the SC160X30S fully compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG, and EMSG (solid-state) sensors that clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel.
