About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600
The AirTAC SC100X1600 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for applications requiring a very long 1600 mm stroke from a 100 mm bore. This non-standard stroke length exceeds the standard maximum of 1500 mm for the SC100 series, making it a made-to-order unit for specialized linear motion tasks. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it provides a substantial push force of 3927 N, scaling up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa.
This cylinder features a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the high inertial loads typical of long-stroke movements. The body length A is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1788 mm. It uses PT1/2 ports and operates on filtered air within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range with its standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pusher
Provides the 1600 mm stroke needed to push heavy pallets or large packages completely off a conveyor line, using 3927 N of force at standard plant pressure.
Automated Welding Positioner
Extends a heavy welding fixture deep into a large frame or enclosure, with the 25 mm rod and adjustable cushioning ensuring smooth, precise positioning of the 100 mm bore carriage.
Industrial Bin Tipper
Powers the long-stroke lift cylinder on a large-capacity bin or drum tipper, utilizing the full 1600 mm travel to achieve a complete dump angle for heavy bulk materials.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X1600 when your application needs the force of a 100 mm bore over an extended 1600 mm working distance. For a step down in force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series offers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for higher force requirements, the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N at the same pressure. This cylinder is an exact replacement for another AirTAC SC100X1600 tie-rod cylinder, matching bore, stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and no magnet.
For any stroke of 300 mm or more, and critically for a 1600 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Always guide the load externally with a linear rail system or switch to a guided cylinder variant to protect the rod bearings and ensure long service life.
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 SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600 FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa (approx. 73 psi) is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the rod area, measuring 3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
A 1600 mm stroke creates a long moment arm. You must never subject the rod to unguided side loads. Install an external linear guide rail parallel to the cylinder to carry the load, and use a floating rod coupler to connect the cylinder rod to the guided carriage. This isolates the rod from bending forces and prevents premature seal and bearing wear.
