If you're designing a pneumatic circuit, the cylinder's bore and stroke determine whether the motion is powerful enough and travels far enough. Two double-acting cylinders split those priorities: the SC32x100 combines a wider bore with a shorter stroke, while the MECCANIXITY 25mm x 150mm offers a slim 25mm bore but stretches out to a 150mm stroke. Your choice comes down to force versus travel, and price adds another layer.
Quick Verdict
For applications that need more pushing power in a compact footprint, the SC32x100 is the stronger contender with its larger bore and lower listed price. For tasks that require longer linear movement, the MECCANIXITY 25mm x 150mm offers the travel you need, even though it's the higher-priced listing of the pair.
At a Glance
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Bore | Stroke | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SC32x100 | $28.72 | 1-1/4" (32mm) | 4" (100mm) | Double-acting | |
| MECCANIXITY 25mm x 150mm | $33.99 | 25mm | 150mm | Double-acting |
Where Each Cylinder Wins
- SC32x100 - The larger bore gives it more piston area, so it can produce greater force at the same operating pressure. Its aluminum construction and self-lubricating bearing help keep maintenance straightforward.
- MECCANIXITY 25mm x 150mm - The longer stroke covers more distance per cycle, and it's rated for compressed air up to 1.0 MPa, making it a flexible choice for automation or robotics.
Both are new, double-acting units with aluminum bodies, so the main differentiators are bore size, stroke length, and the listed price.
Product Notes
Pneumatic Air Cylinder 1-1/4" Bore 4" Stroke SC32x100
If you need to move a heavier load with a cylinder that fits in a tighter space, the SC32x100's 1-1/4-inch bore is the key feature. That larger bore area converts air pressure into more force, and the double-acting behavior lets it push and pull. The aluminum body with a self-lubricating bearing reduces the need for external oiling, which can simplify upkeep. The trade-off is the 4-inch stroke: if your mechanism has to travel farther than that, this cylinder will run out of range. At $28.72, it's also the less expensive pick here, which helps if you're buying multiple units. Just match the port size and mounting style to your setup before ordering.
25mm Bore 150mm Stroke Double Action Pneumatic Air Cylinder MECCANIXITY
For a pneumatic system where travel distance is the priority, this MECCANIXITY cylinder's 150mm stroke gives you room to work. The 25mm bore is more compact, which can be an advantage when space is tight, but it also means less force at the same pressure compared to the SC32x100. Its double-acting design works for both directions, and the compressed-air rating of 1.0 MPa suggests it can handle standard shop air. The $33.99 price is about $5 higher than the SC32x100, so you're paying a bit more for the extended range. If your application calls for longer pushes or pulls in automation control, this cylinder is worth considering.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Pick the SC32x100 if force matters more than travel and you want the lower-priced cylinder.
- Pick the MECCANIXITY 25mm x 150mm if extended travel is your priority and you can accept the smaller bore and higher listed price.
Consider your available space and force requirements before making your decision.
