About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700S
The AirTAC SC160X700S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter rod and a 700 mm stroke, this model suits heavy linear actuation tasks where substantial force is required over a mid-to-long travel distance.
The built-in magnet (-S suffix) allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for reliable end-of-stroke or mid-position sensing. The cylinder body length A is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end to reduce impact noise and wear.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
Provides the high force (up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa) needed to operate clamping fixtures and forming tools in metal fabrication presses.
Pallet Lifting & Transfer
The 700 mm stroke and 10053 N push at 0.5 MPa suit lifting mechanisms and transfer stations in automated warehousing, with sensor feedback for position confirmation.
Material Handling Pushers
Drives heavy-duty pusher arms on conveyor lines for large packages or bulk materials, where the robust 40 mm rod withstands repetitive impact loads.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC200 bore steps up to 15708 N at the same pressure. At a 700 mm stroke, ensure the rod is guided externally if significant side loads are present—long, unsupported rods can experience bending stress. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration.
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 SC160X700S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 10053 N and pull force is 9425 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 14074 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. Theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, so you can clamp CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
