About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160STC
The SC100X160STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 160 mm stroke suits medium-travel clamping, pressing, and material-transfer tasks where the 100 mm bore provides a substantial force reserve.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, plus a centre trunnion (TC) pivot assembly supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). The 25 mm rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion ensure smooth deceleration. Body length A is 188 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 348 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters & Stops
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 160 mm stroke reliably actuates heavy-duty conveyor gates, pallet stops, and product diverters in packaging lines.
Assembly Presses
With up to 7068 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder handles press-fit, riveting, and light forming operations where consistent force and adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning are critical.
Welding & Clamping Fixtures
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot, making it ideal for swing clamps and welding jigs. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing for automated sequence control.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X160STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when 0.5 MPa push force around 3927 N is needed; if less force is acceptable, stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce size and air consumption. For strokes above 300 mm on this bore, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the 25 mm rod from side-load bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: bore (100 mm), stroke (160 mm), port thread (PT1/2), centre trunnion mounting (TC with TCM1 bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X160STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa push reaches 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it delivers 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC100X160STC indicates a built-in magnet. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the barrel to detect piston position without additional brackets.
