About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350FA
The AirTAC SC160X350FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty industrial automation. With a 160 mm bore, it generates 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a rigid 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a 350 mm stroke and a front rectangular flange (FA) for secure panel mounting. The total extended body length is 589 mm, based on a 239 mm body length plus the stroke. It uses a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the assembly from impact damage.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350FA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Provides up to 18095 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for hydraulic-equivalent power in heavy-duty stamping, pressing, and die-casting fixture actuation.
Material Forming Machinery
Ideal for bending, punching, and forming operations where a high-force, tie-rod cylinder with a front flange mount integrates directly onto the machine bulkhead.
Large Valve Actuation
Delivers the high thrust needed to operate large industrial gate valves, dampers, or diverter chutes in processing plants, with a robust 40 mm rod resisting buckling.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires force in the 10000 N class at standard plant pressure. If the load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force demands, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure.
This 350 mm stroke requires careful management of any side loads. The 40 mm rod is robust, but for applications with non-axial forces, an external linear guide or a guided cylinder should be used to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure long seal life. For exact drop-in replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT port thread, front flange FA mounting (F-SC160FA), and the non-magnetic piston configuration.
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 SC160X350FA 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Match the 160 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT (Rc) port thread, and the FA front flange mounting (accessory F-SC160FA). This model does not have a magnet, so ensure your sensors are not barrel-mounted reed switches unless you add an external bracket.
