About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800TC
The AirTAC SC160X800TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for heavy-duty linear applications requiring substantial force and a mid-body pivot point. With a 160 mm bore and 800 mm stroke, it generates a push force of 10053 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is factory-configured with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC160TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot freely and absorb misalignment in swinging or articulating loads. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, protecting the end caps during high-speed operation. Ports are PT3/4, and the standard TPU seals provide reliable service from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800TC Is Used
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates heavy pivoting linkages on harvesters, balers, or tillage tools. The centre trunnion mount handles the constant angular movement, while the 18095 N max thrust powers dense material compression.
Industrial Press & Clamp Systems
Delivers controlled, high-force linear motion for hydraulic-style clamping and pressing in woodworking or metal forming. The 800 mm stroke accommodates deep tooling and large workpieces.
Marine Hatch & Deck Machinery
Ideal for opening and closing heavy deck hatches or cargo doors on vessels. The trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing as the hatch arcs, and the PT ports connect to standard pneumatic lines.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X800TC the Right Cylinder?
The SC160X800TC suits applications where a pivoting mount is essential and the load requires the 10 kN force class at standard plant air. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to the SC125 bore reduces push force to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while still offering the same 1500 mm maximum standard stroke. For higher forces, the SC200 bore delivers 15708 N at 0.5 MPa.
At 800 mm stroke, the 40 mm rod is stiff, but any significant side loading or off-axis force can still induce bending stress on the rod bearing. For such conditions, couple the cylinder with an external linear guide or consider a guided cylinder assembly. When replacing an existing unit, match these five points exactly: 160 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the absence of a magnet sensor option.
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 SC160X800TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 10053 N extending (push) and 9425 N retracting (pull). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC160 tie-rod cylinder with matching 800 mm stroke, PT3/4 ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
