About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60S
The SC160X60S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 60 mm stroke, this model is ideal for short, high-force clamping, pressing, or lifting operations where space along the cylinder axis is limited.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing easy mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/4 port thread ensure robust air flow for rapid cycling.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large workpieces during machining, welding, or assembly processes.
Die Cushion & Ejection
The short 60 mm stroke and high force output are well-suited for die cushion systems or ejecting heavy parts from large stamping and molding presses.
Material Compaction
Provides the powerful, compact actuation needed for compacting waste, biomass, or agricultural materials in balers and compactors, with sensor feedback for cycle counting.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing even higher force, the SC200 bore provides a push force of 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If a 160 mm bore is correct but the force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To ensure a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, the basic mounting configuration, 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 AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60S 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.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC160X60S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder's tie-rods to detect piston position without additional brackets.
