The AirTAC Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X95S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 95mm stroke, PT3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC160X95S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 10053 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 18095 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 160 mm bore and 95 mm stroke, it is built for heavy linear actuation where position sensing is required.
This model includes a built-in magnet (suffix -S), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors to be mounted directly on the barrel for non-contact position detection. The 40 mm diameter rod, PT3/4 port, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure robust, controlled motion in demanding industrial environments.

Operates clamping or forming tools in hydraulic-style press applications, using the 18095 N max thrust at 0.9 MPa for high-force holding and release.
Positions heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke sensing to confirm the stop is fully raised or lowered before the next cycle.
Drives the lip extension on a loading dock leveler. The 95 mm stroke provides the precise travel needed, with sensor feedback ensuring the lip is fully extended.
Select the SC160X95S when your application requires a force class around 10000 N at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 125 mm bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the 200 mm bore provides 15708 N at the same pressure. Ensure the cylinder matches your existing setup across five key points: 160 mm bore, 95 mm stroke, PT3/4 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensors, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. For strokes over 300 mm on this bore, external guides are recommended to protect the rod bearing from side loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi), 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 reaches 18095 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 2050 kgf.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed), DMSG (solid-state), and EMSG (explosion-proof) sensors. These clamp directly onto the tie-rod barrel without additional brackets.
