About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165STC
The SC100X165STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 165 mm stroke suit medium-travel clamping and pressing tasks where a centre trunnion mount is required for pivoting motion.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor compatibility and a TC centre trunnion mount with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports provide robust flow, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates end-of-stroke travel smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and centre trunnion mount allow this cylinder to pivot a diverter gate on a packaging line, routing products between lanes.
Welding Fixture Clamping
With a built-in magnet for clamp-position sensing and 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it provides consistent, monitored clamping pressure on automotive welding jigs.
Small Press Frame Actuation
Delivers up to 801 kgf of theoretical force for light assembly press-fit operations, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to swing into alignment.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when the 50 mm bore's 982 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient; step down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N) if this force exceeds your requirement. For this 165 mm stroke, rod bending is not a primary concern, but any side load must be managed with an external guide.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC100TC), and the -S magnet for sensor mounting. 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 SC100X165STC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum 0.9 MPa operating pressure, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC100X165STC is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock.
