About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600S
The AirTAC SC100X1600 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder built for long linear strokes where a 100 mm bore is needed. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the thrust reaches 7068 N — enough for heavy pressing, clamping, or lifting fixtures.
This model has a 1600 mm stroke, which exceeds the standard maximum of 1500 mm for the 100 mm bore, making it a non-standard made-to-order length. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 ports supply ample flow, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston mass smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1788 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600S Is Used
Long-Reach Pallet Transfer
Pushes or pulls pallets across roller beds in automated warehouses where a 1600 mm stroke is needed to bridge conveyor gaps.
Heavy Panel Ejection
Ejects large formed panels from deep-draw presses, using the full 1600 mm stroke to clear the tooling area completely.
Long-Stroke Clamping Fixture
Applies 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa across a wide weldment, retracting fully for unobstructed part loading.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X1600 when a 100 mm bore provides the force envelope and the application demands a stroke beyond the standard 1500 mm limit. If 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more force than needed, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and footprint. For higher force, the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure.
At 1600 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant. Any side load or off-centre mounting will bend the 25 mm rod and wear the bearing. Always guide the load externally with linear rails or rods, or consider a guided cylinder assembly. When replacing an existing unit, match all five points: 100 mm bore, 1600 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet.
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 SC100X1600S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa the SC100 cylinder produces 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force (the pull force is measured at 0.5 MPa). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N.
No. The maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore SC cylinder is 1500 mm. The 1600 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length. Contact your distributor for lead time on this extended configuration.
