About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SN
The SC100X100SN is a robust 100 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it is built for applications requiring high force in a compact linear distance.
This model features NBR (nitrile) seals, suitable for standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C, and standard PT threaded ports. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 288 mm. Its adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston at stroke end to minimize impact noise and vibration.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SN Is Used
Heavy Part Rejection
Pushes defective components off a high-speed conveyor with 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring reliable diversion of heavy packages.
Clamping & Pressing
Provides up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces during welding, assembly, or gluing operations.
Material Forming
Delivers the high thrust needed for light bending, punching, or forming of sheet metal and plastics in a compact 100 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100SN the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application demands around 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces air consumption while still providing 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions on the 25 mm rod and consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no accessory brackets), and the absence of a built-in magnet. This is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile 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 SC100X100SN 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, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting type.
