About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75TC
The AirTAC SC160X75TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (18095 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 160 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, it is built for heavy linear actuation where a compact stroke length is required. The 40 mm diameter piston rod and PT3/4 port thread ensure robust air flow and mechanical strength.
This model includes the TC centre trunnion mounting (supplied with TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end of travel, protecting the assembly from impact. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa with standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75TC Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
The 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder suitable for powerful clamping fixtures in welding or machining centres, holding large workpieces securely during processing.
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
With the TC centre trunnion mount, the SC160X75TC can pivot to actuate heavy diverter gates on material handling lines, directing pallets or bulk goods without binding.
Press and Forming Assistance
Delivering up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder assists in short-stroke pressing, bending, or forming operations where a compact, high-force actuator is needed.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X75TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter body is critical, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The centre trunnion mount makes this cylinder ideal for swinging or pivoting loads. When replacing, match bore (160 mm), stroke (75 mm), PT port thread, TC trunnion mounting, and ensure the replacement is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder to maintain dimensional compatibility, as the SC series is shorter than ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC160X75TC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 standards. For a correct replacement, match the bore, stroke, PT port thread, and TC trunnion mount with another AirTAC SC cylinder.
