About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165S
The SC100X165S is a 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a built-in magnet, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors on the barrel for contactless position sensing. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, placing it in the 800-kgf theoretical class.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 rod thread and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion at each end is 29 mm long, and the body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 353 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa at -20 to +70 °C with its standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet lets you add sensors to confirm gate open/closed status without extra brackets.
Clamping & Assembly Presses
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for holding parts during welding or bonding. The 165 mm stroke provides ample clearance for loading and unloading large components.
Waste Compactor Actuation
Ideal for driving the compaction plate in small to medium waste or recycling balers. The tie-rod construction handles the repetitive, high-force cycles reliably.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs around 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you can work with roughly 2513 N, stepping down to the SC80 bore saves space and air consumption; if you need more force, the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at the same pressure.
For this 165 mm stroke, side loading is generally manageable with the 25 mm rod, but always align the load axially. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and basic mounting (no bracket). The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X165S FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in SC100X165S means a magnet is built into the piston. You can clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors directly onto the cylinder barrel's sensor groove to detect piston position without any additional mounting hardware.
