About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SLB
The SC100X160SLB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard range for the 100 mm bore, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-travel linear actuation.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and comes equipped with an LB foot mount (F-SC100LB) for stable surface installation. The 25 mm diameter rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 port ensures standard pneumatic connectivity.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SLB Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the LB foot mount providing a rigid, bolted-down base.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for robust workpiece clamping in machining centres or assembly jigs, where the magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke confirmation.
Diverting Gates
The 160 mm stroke and centre-trunnion-less design suit fixed linear diverters in material handling, with sensor feedback ensuring gate position is verified.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SLB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 3927 N of force at standard shop air; if that is excessive, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always evaluate side-loading on the rod—at 160 mm, this model is compact enough for most direct linear pushes without an external guide.
To guarantee a drop-in replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, LB foot mounting accessory, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures the new cylinder fits existing plumbing, brackets, and control systems without modification.
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 SC100X160SLB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only use it to replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with identical bore, stroke, port thread, LB mount, and magnet option.
