The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X365 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 365mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC160X365 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 365 mm stroke and a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod, this cylinder is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where high force and mid-range travel are required.
This model features a 239 mm body length (A dimension) and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The standard PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread ensure compatibility with common industrial fittings. As a genuine AirTAC component, it is manufactured to consistent quality standards for reliable performance in demanding environments.

Provides the high force needed for lifting, tilting, or shifting heavy components on agricultural and construction equipment, operating reliably with filtered compressed air.
Delivers the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to stop or divert heavy pallets on large conveyor systems, with an adjustable cushion to manage the kinetic energy of high-mass loads.
Used in heavy-duty manufacturing presses and clamping fixtures where a 365 mm stroke and 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa are required to form, press, or hold large workpieces securely.
Selecting the correct cylinder involves matching force and stroke to the application. The SC160 bore provides 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which offers 6136 N at the same pressure. For a longer stroke within the same bore family, the SC160 is available up to a maximum standard stroke of 1500 mm.
At a 365 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but always evaluate for potential side loads. If the load is not guided and applies a bending moment to the rod, use an external guide system or linear bearing to protect the rod bearing and seals. For replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches this model's 160 mm bore, 365 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC160X365 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston can drift or the load may drop. For load-holding applications, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
