About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700
The AirTAC SC160X700 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for medium-to-heavy industrial automation tasks. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 10053 N pushing and 9425 N pulling, with a maximum theoretical thrust of 2050 kgf at 1.0 MPa, driven by a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This 700 mm stroke model operates within the standard stroke range for the 160 mm bore, which extends up to 1500 mm. The cylinder features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, and its body length A measures 239 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 939 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700 Is Used
Pallet Handling & Logistics
Provides the high force needed to lift, shift, or stop heavy pallets on conveyor lines, operating reliably with filtered compressed air in distribution centers.
Heavy Press & Clamping
Ideal for pneumatic presses and clamping fixtures in metal fabrication, where the 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa securely holds large workpieces during machining or welding.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
Powers heavy-duty actuators on farm equipment like bale handlers or large chute gates, with the 40 mm rod providing the stiffness needed for outdoor, rugged conditions.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application requires a force class around 10000 N at standard plant pressure. If you need slightly less force, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SC200 provides 15708 N. For this 700 mm stroke, ensure the rod is supported against side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT3/8 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and confirm if a magnet sensor is needed.
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 SC160X700 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 at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No, the SC160X700 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. 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 in the circuit.
