About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X380S
The AirTAC SC160X380S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 380 mm stroke, delivering a robust push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration for heavy linear moves.
The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to mount directly on the barrel for non-contact position sensing. With a body length A of 239 mm and a total extended length of approximately 619 mm, this cylinder suits medium-stroke clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks where sensor feedback is essential.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X380S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamp
The 18095 N thrust at 0.9 MPa makes the SC160 ideal for hydraulic-press alternatives in pneumatic clamping and forming stations, with sensor confirmation of full closure.
Palletising & Lift-Assist
Use the 380 mm stroke for lifting or shifting pallets and heavy bins. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke detection to sequence conveyor transfers reliably.
Material Feed & Ejection
Delivers consistent force for pushing large sheets or moulded parts out of fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by softening the impact at the end of the 380 mm travel.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X380S the Right Cylinder?
For a step down in force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for even higher thrust, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure. When replacing this model, match five key attributes: 160 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and your required mounting accessory. At a 380 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to lateral loads—consider an external guide or a guided cylinder if side forces are present to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 SC160X380S 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 at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet, so AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors clamp directly onto the barrel without additional brackets.
