About the Airtac SILF Front Locking Air Cylinder SILF125X160FTC
SILF125X160FTC adds an FTC front trunnion mounting to the 125 mm bore end-lock cylinder with a 160 mm stroke and front-cover lock. The SILF/SILB series is discontinued, so the code is supplied as SAILF125X160FTC under the same code after the prefix; all figures here describe that replacement unit.
The front trunnion supports the cylinder near the rod end so the body can pivot with a load moving in an arc, unlike the rigid basic, LB foot and FA flange mountings. Locking works as it does across the series: exhaust the lock-side port and the piston is held, then air or the manual lever releases it. Push force is 6136 N at 0.5 MPa and 8590 N at 0.7 MPa, with pull of 5734 N and 8027 N on the 32 mm rod through an M27x2 thread and 1/2 in PT ports.

How to choose
The FTC code places the trunnion at the front cover, keeping the pivot axis close to the load side of a swinging mechanism; TC centers the trunnion mid-body instead, so compare both before ordering. The basic SILF125X160, LB foot and FA flange versions hold the tube rigid and suit straight-line thrust rather than arc motion.
This code has no magnet, unlike an S-suffix variant would; add S only if position sensors are planned. A G suffix switches the 1/2 in PT ports to BSPP on the same 160 mm stroke.
Applications
Swinging lift arm
A lever arm rotating through an arc on a 160 mm stroke, supported at the front trunnion so the cylinder body tracks the load's motion.
Curved-line transfer gate
A diverter on a bend in a conveyor line, where the rod must pivot as it swings product across, with the front lock holding the gate on air loss.
Box tipping station
Tipping or rollover fixtures where the load path is circular; 8027 N pull at 0.7 MPa on the return stroke handles the weight of the swept load.

Is this cylinder still made by AirTAC?
The SILF/SILB series itself is discontinued. Your SILF125X160FTC order is supplied as the current SAILF125X160FTC, the same code with the new prefix, and every specification above is that of the replacement unit you receive.
