About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000
The AirTAC SC100X1000 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a robust linear actuator for demanding industrial tasks. With a 100 mm bore and a 1000 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at the end of travel.
This cylinder uses PT1/2 ports and operates on filtered air within a standard pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa. The body length (A) is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1188 mm. It is a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, built for reliable performance in standard temperatures from -20 to +70 °C with its default TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000 Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
The 1000 mm stroke and high force output are ideal for shifting heavy pallets between conveyor lines, providing the necessary reach and power for smooth, controlled transfer.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Used in large-scale welding or assembly fixtures, the SC100X1000 applies a powerful, consistent clamping force to secure massive workpieces during fabrication processes.
Bulk Material Diverter Gates
With a 1-meter stroke, this cylinder can fully actuate large diverter gates in chutes or hoppers, directing the flow of aggregates, grain, or other bulk materials in processing plants.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare the SC100's 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa with the SC80, which provides 2513 N. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the SC125 offers 6136 N at the same pressure. For this 1000 mm stroke, careful alignment is critical; long, unsupported strokes on a 25 mm rod are susceptible to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial to prevent rod bearing damage.
For a direct replacement, match these five key specifications: 100 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory) configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with another AirTAC SC100 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 SC100X1000 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N, and the pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N. The maximum push force at the 0.9 MPa operating limit is 7068 N.
No. A 1000 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod is prone to bending and uneven rod bearing wear under side loads. You must install an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to absorb the side forces and protect the cylinder from premature failure.
