About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165
The AirTAC SC100X165 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder that generates a substantial 3927 N of push force when supplied with 0.5 MPa air pressure, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 165 mm stroke and a rigid 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model is well-suited to medium-reach clamping, pressing, and lifting tasks where consistent pneumatic power is required.
This cylinder features a 188 mm body length (dimension A), PT1/2 port connections, and an adjustable air cushion with a 29 mm cushion length to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range, making it a robust choice for general industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for stopping and transferring heavy pallets on conveyor lines, providing a firm, controlled motion without damaging the load.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large workpieces during welding, machining, or assembly operations in automotive and steel fabrication.
Press-Fit Assembly
With a 165 mm stroke and high thrust capability, this cylinder reliably presses bearings, bushings, or pins into housings, ensuring consistent insertion depth and force in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC80 bore offers a more compact alternative with 2513 N. At a 165 mm stroke, the rod is well-supported within the standard stroke range, but always ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present to prevent rod bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points to ensure drop-in compatibility: 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic body, so confirm if your application requires an LB, FA, FB, CA, CB, or TC mount), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in 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 SC100X165 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
