About the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X95S
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.

Where the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X95S Is Used
Heavy Press Tool Actuation
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.
Pallet Stop and Lift
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.
Dock Leveler Positioning
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.
Is the Airtac AIRTAC SC125-160 Standard Cylinder SC160X95S the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SC160X95S FAQ
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.
