About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165TC
The SC100X165TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a powerful actuator for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks. Its 165 mm stroke is paired with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, ensuring smooth deceleration of the 100 mm bore piston.
This model is configured with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket for easy integration into pivoting applications. The standard PT1/2 port and TPU seals provide reliable operation in normal environments from -20 to +70 °C, with a body length A of 188 mm that keeps the overall footprint compact for its force class.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, while the centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large weldments or castings. The 165 mm stroke provides ample retraction clearance for easy part loading and unloading.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
With a robust 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction, this cylinder handles the dusty, demanding conditions of farm machinery, such as controlling chutes or lifting heavy attachments on harvesters.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X165TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 for applications needing around 3927 N of force at standard plant pressure; if your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier demands, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. The 165 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 165 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the TC centre trunnion mounting (part F-SC100TC, which ships with the TCM1 bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC of the same configuration.
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 SC100X165TC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force on the retract stroke 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.
The 'TC' suffix designates a centre trunnion mount. This model is supplied with the TCM1 trunnion mounting bracket (order code F-SC100TC). It allows the cylinder body to pivot on a central axis, which is essential for applications where the cylinder's angle changes during its stroke.
