About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60TC
The SC160X60TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force in a compact 60 mm stroke format. At 0.5 MPa it generates 10053 N pushing and 9425 N pulling, rising to 18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
This model is configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm air cushion at each end provide robust, decelerated end-of-stroke performance for heavy loads.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60TC Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixtures
The 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for securely clamping large weldments or castings in machining centres, where a pivoting body aids fixture clearance.
Pivoting Press Mechanisms
With the TC centre trunnion mount, this cylinder can pivot to apply a powerful 60 mm pressing stroke in assembly or forming operations that require the actuator to swing into position.
Heavy Part Diverters
Use this cylinder to actuate robust diverter gates on heavy-duty conveyor lines. The short, powerful stroke and pivoting action reliably redirect large packages or pallets.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X60TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X60TC when you need high force in a short stroke with a pivoting mount. For a step down in force, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for a step up, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N. The centre trunnion mount is ideal for applications where the cylinder body must swing through an arc.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: the 160 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a magnet. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally 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 SC160X60TC 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. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. This is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. The piston will drift or drop under load. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
