About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600STC
The AirTAC SC160X600STC is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at just 0.5 MPa, scaling up to a formidable 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 engineered for demanding linear applications that require substantial force over a moderate distance.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and is supplied with a centre trunnion mount (TC) including the TCM1 bracket for pivoting motion. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end effectively decelerates the large piston mass, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600STC Is Used
Heavy Press & Stamping
Provides the high thrust (up to 18095 N) needed for clamping, pressing, and metal-forming operations where consistent force and a pivoting mount are essential.
Material Handling Pushers
The 600 mm stroke and centre trunnion mount allow this cylinder to pivot while pushing heavy pallets or product lines onto conveyor systems.
Large Gate & Damper Actuation
Ideal for operating heavy industrial gates or dampers, with the trunnion mount absorbing the arc of motion and the magnetic piston confirming open/closed status.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load demands more power, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure. With a 600 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but always assess side-load conditions; an external guide rail is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key specifications: the 160 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting with the F-SC160TC bracket, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to identical SC series models.
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 SC160X600STC 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.
No. The SC160 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end; it does not lock the load. For position holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod brake.
