About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SFA
The AirTAC SC160X700SFA is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 160 mm bore and a 700 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where substantial force and moderate travel are required.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC160FA) for secure panel or bulkhead mounting. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide robust guidance and smooth deceleration, while the PT3/4 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SFA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Delivers up to 18095 N of force at 0.9 MPa for stamping, pressing, and heavy-duty clamping fixtures in metal fabrication cells.
Material Forming
Actuates large forming dies and bending tools, where the 160 mm bore provides the high force needed to shape sheet metal or composite materials.
Pallet Lifting & Transfer
Powers lift-and-lower stations for heavy pallets or engine blocks, using the front flange mount for rigid vertical installation on machine frames.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SFA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application needs roughly 10,000 N of force at standard shop air; the next bore down (SC125) provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an SC200 delivers 15708 N. For this 700 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal—a 40 mm rod at full extension can be vulnerable to bending under off-axis loads; use external guides or a guided cylinder if side load is present. When replacing an existing unit, match five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the 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 SC160X700SFA 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 SC160 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston at the end of stroke—they do not lock or hold the load. For position holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
