About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700FA
The SC160X700FA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear applications. At 0.5 MPa, it generates a push force of 10053 N, scaling up to a powerful 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 700 mm stroke with a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The FA front rectangular flange (F-SC160FA) is integrated for secure panel or end-face mounting, ensuring rigid alignment in demanding industrial sequences.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700FA Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
Provides the high push force needed to lift, tilt, or transfer palletized loads and heavy components in logistics and warehouse automation.
Press and Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 18095 N of clamping force for industrial presses, welding jigs, and assembly fixtures requiring rigid, secure holding.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
Operates heavy-duty levers, chutes, and gates on farming equipment like balers and harvesters, withstanding dusty outdoor conditions.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700FA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a push force between the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) and the SC200 (15708 N at 0.5 MPa). The 700 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, making it a standard catalog item. For side-loaded or long-stroke applications, always use an external guide or rod support to protect the 40 mm rod and bearings from bending moments.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a built-in 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 AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700FA 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and FA front flange mount.
