About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SH
The AirTAC SC160X700SH is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy industrial automation. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 10053 N and pulls with 9425 N, scaling up to a powerful 18095 N push at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This 160 mm bore model uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the 700 mm stroke smoothly. The built-in magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback, while the Viton (FKM) seals extend the operating temperature range from 0 to +150 °C, making it suitable for hot environments.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SH Is Used
Sawmill & Timber Processing
The 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa drives log kickers and carriage feeds. Viton seals withstand the high ambient heat found near drying kilns and engine rooms.
Heavy Press & Forming Assist
Delivers the high clamping force needed for hydraulic press door interlocks or heavy-gauge sheet metal forming jigs, with sensor feedback confirming the closed position.
Foundry & Heat-Treat Actuation
With a 0 to 150 °C seal rating, this cylinder operates reliably on furnace damper controls and casting shakeout equipment where standard seals would degrade.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700SH the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 when your application needs roughly 10000 N of force at standard shop air; if that is excessive, the SC125 bore provides about 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. For a 700 mm stroke, confirm the rod is adequately supported against side loads—long unsupported strokes on a 40 mm rod can experience bending moments. Add an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic mounting style. This model ships without mounting accessories; order FA, FB, CA, CB, LB, or TC brackets separately if 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 SC160X700SH FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a dedicated brake unit.
