About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X830S
The SC160X830S is a large-bore double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore and an 830 mm stroke, factory-equipped with a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 10053 N of push force and 9425 N on the pull stroke, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty industrial class.
This model uses a 40 mm diameter piston rod with an M36x2 knuckle thread and PT3/4 port connections. The adjustable air cushion is 29 mm long, and the cylinder body length A is 239 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1069 mm. The standard TPU seals provide an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X830S Is Used
Heavy Material Handling
The 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for lifting, tilting, and transferring heavy pallets or steel components in material handling stations.
Agricultural Machinery Actuation
With its robust tie-rod construction and built-in magnet for position sensing, the SC160X830S reliably operates log splitters, bale handlers, and other high-force farm implements.
Large Press and Clamping Fixtures
Delivering 18095 N of thrust at the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, this cylinder provides the clamping force needed for large welding jigs, forming presses, and heavy assembly fixtures.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X830S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160 bore when your application requires a push force around 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. If you can accept a slightly smaller envelope, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure; for significantly higher force, the SC200 bore offers 15708 N. Always match replacement cylinders on all five key points: 160 mm bore, 830 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and your specific mounting accessory.
At 830 mm of stroke, the 40 mm rod is subject to bending moments if side loads are present. For this stroke length, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearing and ensure long service life.
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 SC160X830S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code indicates a built-in magnet is installed on the piston. This allows you to clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's sensor groove to detect piston position without any additional brackets.
