About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X750FA
The AirTAC SC160X750FA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering substantial force for heavy-duty linear actuation. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 10053 N pushing and 9425 N pulling, rising to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model features a 40 mm diameter piston rod with M36x2 threads and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration. The FA front rectangular flange (accessory F-SC160FA) allows rigid mounting to a panel or machine face, while the 750 mm stroke suits medium-to-long travel material handling and pressing tasks. Body length A is 239 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 989 mm.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X750FA Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
The 10 kN push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic presses, assembly jigs, and clamping fixtures where consistent, high force is required.
Material Handling Pushers
With a 750 mm stroke and robust 40 mm rod, it reliably pushes heavy pallets, boxes, or components off conveyors and into transfer stations.
Structural Testing Rigs
The high force output and front flange mounting suit static load testing frames, providing repeatable linear force for product validation and quality control.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X750FA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application needs push force in the 10 kN class at standard shop air. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure.
At 750 mm stroke, the rod is extended significantly. Side loads or off-centre mounting can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear — fit an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 160 mm bore, 750 mm stroke, PT port thread, FA front flange mounting, and the absence of a magnet (no -S suffix).
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 SC160X750FA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 10053 N and pulls with 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC160 is a standard double-acting cylinder — it does not lock or hold position when pressure is exhausted or the valve centres. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
