About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090
The AirTAC SC100X1090 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder 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. With a 100 mm bore and a substantial 1090 mm stroke, this actuator is built for applications requiring significant linear force over a long travel distance.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The total extended body length is approximately 1297 mm (body length A of 188 mm plus the 1090 mm stroke). It includes an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm cushion length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The standard operating temperature range is -20 to +70 °C with TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy bins and pallets across wide conveyor gaps or transfer stations, leveraging the 1090 mm stroke for extended reach without complex linkages.
Large Panel Press Feed
Feeds oversized sheet metal or wood panels into stamping presses or CNC routers, where the 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa overcomes the inertia of large workpieces.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Operates tall diverter gates in gravity chutes or sorting systems, using the long stroke to fully open or close large aperture passages for bulk material handling.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1090 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X1090 when your application demands a push force around 3927 N at standard plant pressure. If your load requires slightly less force, consider stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) for a more compact and economical solution. For higher force requirements, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At this 1090 mm stroke, the unsupported piston rod is subject to bending under side loads. To ensure long seal life and prevent rod bearing damage, always guide the load externally with linear rails or rods, or consider switching to a guided cylinder assembly. For exact drop-in replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 1090 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet.
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 SC100X1090 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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
For strokes exceeding 300 mm, side loads can cause rod deflection and premature bearing wear. You must guide the load externally using hardened linear shafts and bearings, or use a purpose-built guided cylinder. The SC100X1090 does not include internal guides, so external load alignment is critical for longevity.
