The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X350TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 350mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it perfect for driving articulated arms, bin tippers, and dump mechanisms in industrial machinery.
Delivers the force and stroke needed to push or lift heavy components onto conveyor lines, transfer carts, or within automated assembly stations.
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
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.
