About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SCB
The SC100X160SCB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), built around a 100 mm bore and a 160 mm standard stroke. Its 25 mm piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide controlled deceleration for mid-range automation tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a rear double clevis (CB) for pivoting installation. The F-SC100CB clevis bracket allows the cylinder to swing as the load articulates, making it suitable for linkages and tilting mechanisms.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SCB Is Used
Tipping Bin Actuation
The rear double clevis mount lets the cylinder pivot as it extends, ideal for dumping hoppers or bins in agricultural and processing equipment.
Clamp & Fixture Swing Arms
Magnetic piston sensing confirms clamp position on swing-arm fixtures, while the 29 mm cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 160 mm stroke.
Diverter Gate Control
Push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa reliably shifts heavy material diverter gates on conveyors, with the CB clevis allowing the cylinder body to follow the gate arc.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SCB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X160SCB when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push force at standard shop air. If you can accept lower force to reduce air consumption, step down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For higher force in the same mounting style, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the rear double clevis (CB) mount, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and will not drop into ISO 15552 footprints.
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 SC100X160SCB FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure the cylinder generates 5497 N of push force (pull force is 3681 N). The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder matching the bore, stroke, PT1/2 ports, CB clevis mount, and magnet option.
