About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350TC
The AirTAC SC160X350TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial linear motion. At 0.5 MPa air pressure, it generates a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N, scaling up to a maximum theoretical thrust of 18095 N at the 0.9 MPa operating limit.
This model features a 350 mm stroke with a 40 mm diameter piston rod and M36x2 rod thread for robust end connections. The TC suffix indicates a centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC160TC), which allows the cylinder body to pivot during operation. It uses a PT3/4 port and includes a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke end.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350TC Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Provides over 10,000 N of push force at standard line pressure, ideal for powerful pneumatic presses, heavy-duty clamping fixtures, and material forming operations.
Pivoting Machinery Linkages
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it perfect for driving articulated arms, bin tippers, and dump mechanisms in industrial machinery.
Large Part Transfer
Delivers the force and stroke needed to push or lift heavy components onto conveyor lines, transfer carts, or within automated assembly stations.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350TC the Right Cylinder?
The SC160X350TC suits applications requiring a pivoting cylinder body to handle swinging or arcing loads. For higher force, step up to the 200 mm bore SC200 series (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa.
With a 350 mm stroke, ensure the 40 mm rod is adequately supported against side loads. Long unsupported strokes can cause rod bending or bearing wear; consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder configuration if the load is not purely axial. For direct replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the non-magnetic piston.
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 SC160X350TC 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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT port, and centre trunnion mount.
