About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X115
The SC100X115 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With a 100 mm bore and 115 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-stroke clamping and pressing tasks.
This tie-rod cylinder features an adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 303 mm. It operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa and uses standard TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X115 Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily drives diverters and pushers on packaging lines, moving boxes or totes with a 115 mm stroke.
Assembly Presses
Ideal for low-force press-fit operations, bearing insertion, or riveting stations where a controlled 115 mm advance and up to 7068 N of force is needed.
Clamping & Fixturing
Provides steady, repeatable clamping force for CNC fixtures or welding jigs, holding workpieces securely during machining or joining processes.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X115 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the 125 mm bore SC125 series provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If space is tighter and 982 N at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, the 50 mm bore SC50 series is a compact alternative. The 115 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 115 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The SC100 is a tie-rod cylinder 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 SC100X115 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC100X115 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
