About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600S
The SC160X600S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 600 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy industrial linear motion tasks that require consistent force and position sensing.
This unit includes the factory-installed -S magnet, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be clamped directly onto the tie-rod barrel for non-contact position feedback. The cylinder features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads, and operates on filtered air within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for industrial pressing, riveting, and part-clamping fixtures in metal fabrication cells.
Material Handling & Sorting
The 600 mm stroke and magnetic piston enable precise end-of-stroke sensing for diverting heavy pallets or packages on high-capacity conveyor systems.
Sawmill & Wood Processing
Delivers the high thrust needed for log stops and board flippers, with the robust 40 mm rod resisting deflection under demanding operational speeds.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing a higher force output, consider stepping up to the 200 mm bore (15708 N at 0.5 MPa). If the current 10053 N output is excessive, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At a 600 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external guide rail or a guided cylinder assembly to prevent rod bearing wear and bending.
When replacing an existing unit, match these five points: 160 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration (no factory bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC160X600S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to mount AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly on the cylinder's tie-rod barrel to detect piston position.
