About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X650S
The SC160X650S is a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. With a 160 mm bore and 650 mm stroke, it 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, making it suitable for heavy-duty linear actuation.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, non-contact position feedback. The cylinder features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 thread, PT3/4 port connections, and an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 29 mm to decelerate end-of-stroke impact. Its body length A is 239 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 889 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X650S Is Used
Palletizer Pushers
Provides the high force needed to push heavy, loaded pallets or large boxes onto conveyor lines in automated palletizing cells.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers 18095 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large weldments, engine blocks, or structural components during machining or assembly.
Balers and Compactors
Actuates the compression ram in recycling balers, using its 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa to compact cardboard, plastics, or other materials into dense bales.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X650S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160X650S for applications requiring a high-force actuator in the 10 kN class at standard plant pressure. If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For even higher force demands, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N at the same pressure.
For this 650 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimized. Long, unsupported strokes on a single rod can create a bending moment on the rod bearing; use external linear guides or a guided cylinder configuration to protect the rod and seals. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 650 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the basic mounting configuration, and the presence of a built-in magnet for sensor compatibility.
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 SC160X650S FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 10053 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force is 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf. Always apply a safety factor for real-world dynamic loads.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots for end-of-stroke or intermediate position sensing without additional brackets.
