About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90S
The SC160X90S is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 10053 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 18095 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 90 mm stroke is paired with a robust 40 mm diameter piston rod and M36x2 male knuckle thread, making it suitable for heavy clamping and pressing tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the tie-rod construction keeps service straightforward.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa for assembly presses, laminating fixtures, and static material compaction.
Automated Clamping
The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback for automated part clamping in CNC machining centres and welding jigs.
Material Handling Gates
Operates diverter gates and heavy chutes in mining or aggregate processing, with the tie-rod design handling harsh environments.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X90S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC160X90S when your application needs the 10053 N force class at standard plant pressure. For a lighter frame, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for heavier loads, the SC200 bore provides 15708 N. The 90 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 160 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic mounting style. Always verify the tie-rod body length (239 mm) fits your machine envelope.
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 SC160X90S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 10053 N and pulls with 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.
Yes. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without external brackets.
