About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100N
The AirTAC SC100X100N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 port connections.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, offering reliable performance within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range. The adjustable air cushion at each end (29 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 288 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100N Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily operates diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, handling heavy totes or pallets with the robust 25 mm rod.
Clamping & Pressing
Ideal for heavy-duty clamping fixtures and small assembly presses. The adjustable cushion ensures smooth, controlled motion when pressing parts together, preventing damage.
Agricultural Machinery
With NBR seals and high force output, this cylinder actuates chutes, hopper doors, and grading gates on farm equipment, providing reliable service in dusty conditions.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100N the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs push force between 3927 N (at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (at 0.9 MPa). If your load requires less force, step down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) for a lighter, more compact actuator. For higher force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mount (no accessory bracket), and no magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X100N FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, port, and mounting.
