The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X167 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 167mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X167 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a workhorse for medium-to-heavy industrial linear motion. With a 100 mm bore and a 167 mm stroke, this model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, housed in a rugged tie-rod body with an overall body length of 188 mm.
This genuine AirTAC SC series actuator features an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa across a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s, suitable for a wide variety of factory automation tasks.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides ample power for raising or stopping heavy pallets on conveyor lines, ensuring reliable material handling in distribution centers.
Ideal for heavy-duty clamping fixtures and assembly presses, the 25 mm rod resists buckling under the 167 mm stroke, maintaining alignment during high-force operations.
With its adjustable cushion, this cylinder smoothly operates heavy gates, dampers, or diverter chutes, minimizing mechanical shock and extending the service life of connected components.
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between roughly 2500 N and 7000 N at standard plant pressures. If the 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is slightly above your needs, stepping down to the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure, saving space and air consumption. For higher force requirements, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 167 mm stroke, side-loading is a moderate concern; ensure the load is guided externally and the rod is not subjected to direct lateral forces to prevent bearing wear and rod bending.
To guarantee a correct replacement, match five key specifications: the 100 mm bore, the 167 mm stroke, the PT1/2 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, 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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. For a drop-in replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 100 mm bore, 167 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting.
