About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90
The SC160X90 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 18095 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 40 mm diameter piston rod and a 90 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy-duty linear tasks where a compact, powerful push or pull is required.
This genuine AirTAC cylinder features a 239 mm body length and 28 mm of adjustable pneumatic cushioning at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly. The standard PT3/4 port threads and M36x2 rod thread ensure a robust connection for demanding industrial air systems.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90 Is Used
Heavy Machinery Actuation
Ideal for actuating blades, gates, or lifts on construction and agricultural equipment, where the 10053 N force at 0.5 MPa easily handles heavy steel components.
Palletising & Logistics
Provides the powerful push needed to transfer heavy pallets or totes on conveyor lines, with the adjustable cushion absorbing impact for reliable, long-term operation.
Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 18095 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for industrial presses and welding fixtures, securely holding large workpieces during fabrication.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N at 0.5 MPa. If a lighter, faster cycle is preferred, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. The 90 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 160 bore, making this a readily available standard configuration.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 160 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, basic (no) mounting, and the absence of a magnet sensor. This ensures a direct, drop-in fit for another AirTAC SC series tie-rod unit.
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 SC160X90 FAQ
At 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 increases to 18095 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder with a 160 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, and PT3/4 ports.
