The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X600TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 600mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC160X600TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 160 mm bore and 600 mm stroke, factory-assembled with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. This model generates a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 40 mm diameter piston rod.
With a body length A of 239 mm and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, the cylinder decelerates heavy loads smoothly without metal-to-metal impact. The PT3/4 port and M36x2 rod thread handle high flow and robust attachment, while the TC mount and included TCM1 bracket allow the cylinder to swing through its arc, making it a direct fit for genuine AirTAC SC160 applications requiring mid-body support.

Pushes or lifts loaded pallets across roller conveyors, using the 10053 N force at standard line pressure to move bulky goods reliably.
Applies up to 18095 N of clamping force in woodworking or metal-forming jigs, with the centre trunnion allowing the cylinder to pivot into position.
Operates large hopper gates or diverter dampers in aggregate and bulk material handling, where the trunnion mount absorbs reaction forces through the cylinder's centre of gravity.
This 160 mm bore cylinder suits medium-to-heavy force requirements; if your load needs less force, stepping down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and footprint. For a 600 mm stroke, always check side-load conditions—an unsupported 40 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending under offset loads. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder when the load is not perfectly axial.
For a drop-in replacement, match these five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount with the F-SC160TC bracket, and the standard non-magnet piston. This ensures the mounting pivot point, air connections, and force output align with your existing setup.
Quick checklist
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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so the mounting dimensions and overall length will not match. Only replace another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port, and TC centre trunnion mount.
