About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SN
The SC100X160SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (max 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 160 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks where consistent linear thrust is needed.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling rod-position feedback without external brackets. NBR seals (-N) provide reliable sealing for general industrial air service, and the 1/2-inch PT ports ensure straightforward pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SN Is Used
Automated Press Fitting
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily handles bearing insertion and bushing press-fit operations. The built-in magnet allows end-of-stroke confirmation via reed sensors for quality interlocking.
Product Diverting Gate
Use the 160 mm stroke to swing a diverter arm on a conveyor line. The NBR seals are well-suited for the typical ambient conditions in packaging and logistics facilities.
Material Clamping Fixture
Develop consistent hold-down force for welding or assembly jigs. The SC100X160SN provides up to 7068 N of clamping thrust at 0.9 MPa, with sensor-ready position monitoring.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160SN the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore for force requirements up to 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure in a lighter body. For strokes of 160 mm, rod bearing support is adequate for axial loads, but any significant side force requires an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
For direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the NBR seal material. The SC100 series uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads.
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 SC100X160SN FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), 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.
Yes. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, making it compatible with AirTAC CMSG (reed) and DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors. These sensors clamp directly onto the cylinder barrel for non-contact position sensing.
