About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X510
The AirTAC SC160X510 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure, it provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 160 mm bore, a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads, and a 510 mm stroke. The total extended body length is approximately 749 mm (239 mm body length A + 510 mm stroke). It includes PT3/4 ports and an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and vibration.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X510 Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping Fixtures
Generates over 18 kN of clamping force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for holding large workpieces during welding, machining, or assembly operations.
Pallet Transfer & Lift Stations
The 510 mm stroke and high force output reliably push heavy pallets or lift transfer mechanisms in material handling lines.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Suited for demanding environments requiring high thrust to operate chutes, gates, or compactors on farming and processing machinery.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X510 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160X510 when your application requires force in the 10 kN class at standard plant pressure. If a smaller envelope is acceptable, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force requirements, the SC200 bore increases push force to 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. This 510 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 160 bore.
For strokes of this length, ensure the load is guided externally and aligned axially with the rod to prevent bending moments and premature rod bearing wear. For replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic (no accessory) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet.
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 SC160X510 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 SC160X510 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop under load. To safely hold a position without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
