About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600
The SC160X600 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 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 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 600 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy industrial linear motion tasks that demand high force over a substantial working distance.
The cylinder body length A is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends of the stroke. It operates on filtered air (40 µm) within a standard pressure range of 0.15–1.0 MPa and a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, using durable TPU/NBR seals and PT3/4 port threads.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600 Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa, ideal for hydraulic-press alternatives, heavy-duty clamping fixtures, and forming operations where consistent pneumatic power is needed.
Material Handling & Lifting
The 600 mm stroke and 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa suit pallet lifters, heavy bin tippers, and large-part transfer stations in warehouses and logistics hubs.
Industrial Automation
Deployed in sawmill log positioning, steel fabrication jigs, and large valve actuation, this cylinder provides reliable double-acting motion in demanding, high-cycle automated cells.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 6000 N and 18000 N at standard shop air pressures. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 600 mm, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points to ensure drop-in compatibility: 160 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this basic model has no bracket), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). This tie-rod design is dimensionally shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 cylinder and is not interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC160X600 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, it does not lock or hold position when air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered; the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve, an external rod brake, or a mechanical lock.
