About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700STC
The SC160X700STC is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 40 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are engineered for heavy-duty industrial tasks requiring a substantial 700 mm stroke.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot for swinging loads. The standard PT ports and TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700STC Is Used
Heavy Pallet Transfer
The 18095 N push force at 0.9 MPa and 700 mm stroke reliably drives heavy pallet transfer mechanisms in automated warehouses, with the trunnion mount absorbing the pivoting motion of the transfer arm.
Industrial Press Feed
Delivers the high, consistent force needed to push heavy steel sheets or components into a stamping press, with the centre trunnion allowing the cylinder to align perfectly with the feed path.
Large Valve Actuation
Provides the substantial thrust required to open and close large-diameter industrial butterfly or gate valves, with the magnet allowing for precise open/closed position feedback via barrel-mounted sensors.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700STC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 for applications demanding forces in the 10053 N (push at 0.5 MPa) class. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) for a more compact and economical solution. For a 700 mm stroke, ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is strongly recommended to prevent rod bearing damage and bending.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC160TC bracket, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This is a non-ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder and will only directly interchange with another AirTAC SC160 of the same 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 SC160X700STC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 10053 N of push force and 9425 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N.
No, a 700 mm stroke with a 40 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. You must use an external guide system or a guided cylinder to absorb all side forces and protect the rod bearings and seals from premature wear.
