The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X65 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 65mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X65 is a robust 100 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 65 mm stroke, it is well-suited for short, high-force clamping, pressing, or ejecting tasks where space along the cylinder axis is limited.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and PT1/2 ports. The total extended body length is approximately 253 mm (188 mm body length A plus the 65 mm stroke). Its adjustable pneumatic cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel to reduce impact and noise.

Generates 3927 N of clamping force at standard 0.5 MPa line pressure, ideal for securely holding large workpieces during welding, assembly, or machining operations.
The short 65 mm stroke and high force output are perfect for punching, stamping, or press-fit insertion tasks in automated production cells requiring a compact actuator.
Provides a rapid, powerful 65 mm push to divert heavy packages or reject defective parts from a high-speed conveyor line, with adjustable cushioning for smooth operation.
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (SC80 series) provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If the 65 mm stroke is insufficient, the SC100 supports standard strokes up to 1500 mm. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage and bending.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this is a basic, foot-mountable body), and the presence or absence of a magnet. This basic model has no built-in magnet, so it is compatible with standard mounting accessories like the F-SC100LB foot mount or F-SC100FA front flange.
Quick checklist
At 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 that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 100 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, PT ports, and basic mounting configuration.
