About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10
The SC100X10 is a compact-stroke double-acting cylinder built on a 100 mm bore, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 10 mm stroke suits precise short-travel operations such as clamping, stamping, or ejecting parts where high force is needed in a minimal linear envelope.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 pneumatic ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate the end-of-stroke mass smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, keeping the overall extended length to just 198 mm for easy integration into tight machine spaces.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10 Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Generates up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to securely hold heavy workpieces during machining or welding, preventing movement with a very short 10 mm stroke.
Short-Stroke Ejection
Ideal for ejecting formed parts from dies or molds where a powerful, brief push is required and space for actuation is limited.
Product Stops & Diverters
Acts as a robust end-stop or diverter gate on heavy-duty conveyor lines, using its high force to halt or redirect pallets and large cartons.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10 the Right Cylinder?
For a 100 mm bore, the SC100 delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires slightly less force in a smaller package, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce weight and air consumption. For higher force, the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a magnet. This ensures a direct form-and-function swap for another AirTAC SC100X10 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC100X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (≈73 psi) the cylinder pushes with 3927 N. At 0.7 MPa it produces 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X10 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If supply pressure is lost or the valve is centered, the piston can drift. For load holding without pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
