About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800FA
The AirTAC SC160X800FA is a heavy-duty double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, rising to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 800 mm stroke and a 40 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for large-scale industrial automation tasks requiring substantial linear force.
This specific configuration features an FA front rectangular flange (F-SC160FA) for secure end-face mounting, standard TPU seals with a -20 to +70 °C operating range, and PT port threads. The adjustable pneumatic cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly at the end of its travel, protecting the end caps from impact damage.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800FA Is Used
Heavy Pressing & Forming
Generates over 18,000 N of force at 0.9 MPa for clamping, riveting, and light forming operations in metal fabrication cells.
Palletizing & Logistics
Provides the long 800 mm reach needed for layer-forming palletizers and large package pushers in automated distribution centers.
Material Handling Gates
Controls heavy diverter gates or chutes on conveyor systems for mining, aggregate, or recycling bulk material handling.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800FA the Right Cylinder?
Select this 160 mm bore cylinder when your application requires a push force between roughly 10053 N (at 0.5 MPa) and 18095 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is lower, consider stepping down to the 125 mm bore model, which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a direct replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches the 160 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT port thread, and FA front flange mounting pattern.
For an 800 mm stroke, the extended piston rod is long and can be susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature rod bearing wear and seal failure, always guide the load externally with a linear rail system or use a self-guided cylinder if side forces are unavoidable.
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 SC160X800FA FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 10053 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.
No, the FA front flange mount is designed for rigid, fixed end-face mounting. If your application requires the cylinder body to pivot, you should select a model with a TC centre trunnion or a CA/CB rear clevis mounting configuration instead.
