About the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X610
The SC160X610 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 160 mm bore with a 610 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates a push force of 10053 N, making it a robust actuator for heavy linear motion tasks.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 port connections. The total body length A is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends to protect the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X610 Is Used
Sawmill Log Handling
Powers log stops and kickers on conveyor lines, using its 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably position heavy timber for cutting.
Heavy Agricultural Implements
Actuates depth-control mechanisms on large tillage equipment, providing the sustained force needed to maintain consistent soil engagement.
Press-Fit Assembly Stations
Delivers 18095 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into heavy castings, with the 29 mm cushion absorbing shock at cycle completion.
Is the Airtac SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X610 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare the SC160's 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa with the smaller SC125 (6136 N) and the larger SC200 (15708 N). Stepping up to the SC200 provides over 50% more force for the same pressure if future loads increase. For this 610 mm stroke, ensure the 40 mm rod is adequately supported against side loads; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder configuration is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 610 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body, so no factory mount), and the absence of a magnet. This cylinder is a tie-rod design 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 SC160X610 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160 bore generates a theoretical push force of 14074 N and a pull force of 9425 N on the retract stroke.
No. The SC160 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
