About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1020
The AirTAC SC100X1020 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder built for long linear moves, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion manage the inertia of the 1020 mm stroke, while the PT1/2 port threads provide ample air flow for a 100 mm bore.
This non-standard stroke exceeds the standard 1500 mm maximum for the SC100 series, making it a made-to-order unit for applications where a precise 1020 mm travel is required. The body length A of 188 mm plus the stroke gives an extended length of approximately 1208 mm, so plan for adequate mounting space and consider external guides to protect the rod from side loads at full extension.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1020 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy pallets and bins across wide conveyor gaps with 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for transfer stations needing a 1020 mm stroke.
Large Panel Press Feed
Loads oversized wood or metal panels into stamping presses, using the full 1020 mm travel and 29 mm cushion to decelerate heavy sheet goods smoothly.
Automated Warehouse Diverter
Directs large cartons on high-speed sortation lines; the 100 mm bore provides the thrust to divert bulky items, while the long stroke reaches across wide belt sections.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1020 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X1020 when your application needs a force of about 3927 N at standard plant pressure. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier demands, the SC125 bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. For this 1020 mm stroke, side-load management is critical—an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension is vulnerable to bending and seal wear. Use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler, or consider a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 1020 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no magnet. This SC is a tie-rod design, shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not a drop-in ISO replacement—only a direct match to another AirTAC SC100 or equivalent tie-rod unit will ensure correct fit.
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 SC100X1020 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa the SC100X1020 delivers 5497 N of push force. The pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the 25 mm rod reducing the piston area on the rod side.
No, the 1020 mm stroke is non-standard for the SC100 series (standard strokes go up to 1500 mm in set increments). It is a made-to-order configuration, so confirm lead time with your AirTAC distributor.
