About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75S
The AirTAC SC160X75S is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a theoretical push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 75 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks where substantial force is required in a compact stroke length.
This variant includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise, non-contact position sensing. The cylinder operates on filtered air (40 µm) within a standard pressure range of 0.15–1.0 MPa and features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75S Is Used
Heavy Press & Clamping
Generates over 10,000 N of force at 0.5 MPa for powerful clamping, pressing, and riveting operations in assembly jigs and metal-forming fixtures.
Material Handling Gates
Actuates heavy diverter gates or stops on conveyor systems, with the built-in magnet providing end-of-stroke confirmation to the control system.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
Provides reliable, high-force linear motion for lifting or tilting mechanisms on harvesters and spreaders, with sensor feedback for position monitoring.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75S the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC160 bore when your application demands push forces in the 10053 N (at 0.5 MPa) class. For a step down in force, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N of push force at the same pressure, while a step up to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N. Ensure your mounting and porting match: this model uses a PT3/4 port thread.
For a direct replacement, match five key attributes: 160 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the basic mounting style (no included bracket), and the integrated magnet for sensor compatibility. Always verify that the tie-rod body length (239 mm) and total extended length (314 mm) fit your existing machine envelope.
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 SC160X75S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical 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 maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code SC160X75S indicates a built-in magnet on the piston. This allows you to clamp compatible AirTAC CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's tie-rod slots to detect piston position without additional brackets.
