About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100
The SC100X100 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder providing a robust 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it suitable for clamping and pressing operations where a compact 100 mm stroke is sufficient. It features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the load smoothly.
With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 288 mm. This standard-stroke model operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and uses TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The basic configuration allows direct integration into your machine frame without additional mounting brackets.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100 Is Used
Pneumatic Press Frames
Generates up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for light pressing, staking, or crimping operations within a short 100 mm working envelope.
Part Stops and Gates
The 25 mm rod and 100 mm stroke provide a durable stop or diverter gate for pallets and boxes on conveyor lines.
Clamping Fixtures
Delivers consistent 3927 N clamping force at standard 0.5 MPa shop air, ideal for holding workpieces during machining or welding.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100 the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore cylinder is a strong mid-range actuator. If your application requires less force, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For higher force demands, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. Always ensure the load is guided externally if side forces are present, as the rod bearing is designed for axial loads.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and confirm whether a magnet (-S suffix) is needed for sensors on your original unit.
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 SC100X100 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) operating pressure, the SC100X100 cylinder produces a theoretical push force of 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the area reduction from the 25 mm piston rod.
This specific part number (SC100X100) is the basic configuration without a trunnion. To order the same bore and stroke with a centre trunnion, specify model SC100X100TC, which includes the F-SC100TC trunnion bracket.
