About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100LB
The SC100X100LB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear tasks. This 100 mm bore model uses a 25 mm piston rod with an M20x1.5 rod thread and PT1/2 ports, and the foot-mount (LB) configuration bolts directly to a machine bed or frame for stable, fixed-axis operation.
With a 100 mm stroke, the total extended body length reaches 288 mm (188 mm body length A + stroke). The adjustable air cushion absorbs end-of-travel energy over a 29 mm cushion length, protecting the end caps. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, and is built for filtered-air service up to 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100LB Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on roller conveyors. The LB foot mount anchors the cylinder firmly to the conveyor side frame.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or assembly. The adjustable cushion prevents impact bounce that could disturb the part.
Gate & Diverter Actuation
Operates heavy chute gates or material diverters in aggregate and grain handling. The tie-rod construction withstands dusty environments when the rod wiper is maintained.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100LB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure; if you need less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC125 steps up to 6136 N. The LB foot mount (accessory F-SC100LB) is ideal for horizontal surface mounting where the cylinder body must be rigidly fixed.
For a reliable drop-in replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, LB foot mounting, and the standard non-magnet barrel. This cylinder does not include a built-in magnet, so position sensing requires external limit switches rather than barrel-mounted reed sensors.
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 SC100X100LB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X100LB does not include the -S magnet option, so the piston lacks a magnetic ring. CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors cannot be used. Select SC100X100LBS for a sensor-ready version.
