About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700TC
The AirTAC SC160X700TC is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 700 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, it is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where a pivoting mount is required.
This model includes the TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The body length A is 239 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the 40 mm rod smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps from impact damage in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700TC Is Used
Heavy Machinery Actuation
Provides the high force (up to 18095 N) needed to tilt or lift heavy assemblies on construction and agricultural equipment, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to pivot freely.
Industrial Press Feed
Delivers consistent, powerful linear motion for feeding heavy stock into large stamping presses or forming machines, where the 700 mm stroke handles deep material draws.
Waste Handling Gate Control
Operates large slide gates or diverter chutes in recycling and waste processing plants, using its robust 40 mm rod and trunnion pivot to manage heavy, shifting loads.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X700TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 when your application requires a force between the SC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the SC200 (15708 N push at 0.5 MPa). The TC centre trunnion mount is ideal for applications where the cylinder body needs to swing through an arc, such as on a pivoting clamp or a dump mechanism. For a direct replacement, match the 160 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and ensure the magnet option matches your sensor needs (this model has no built-in magnet).
At a 700 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is robust, but any significant side loading should be managed with an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent bending stress on the rod bearing and seals.
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 SC160X700TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC160X700TC generates a theoretical push force of 14074 N. The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 18095 N. For holding a load without pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required, as the cylinder will not hold position when air is exhausted.
It can replace another SC160 of the same 700 mm stroke if the mounting style is changed to TC. The trunnion bracket (F-SC160TC) is included. Ensure the replacement matches the bore (160 mm), stroke (700 mm), port thread (PT), and magnet option (none). The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
