The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X130 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 130mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X130 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder that generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 130 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it suits medium-reach clamping and pressing tasks where a compact retracted length is needed.
This model has a body length A of 188 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod thread make it straightforward to plumb and connect tooling.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for raising or stopping heavy pallets on conveyor lines, providing a firm 130 mm lift stroke.
Use the SC100X130 in welding or assembly fixtures where a powerful, consistent clamp force is needed to hold large workpieces during processing.
With up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder can drive press-fit operations for bearings or bushings into housings over a controlled 130 mm distance.
Choose the SC100 bore when your load needs roughly 3900 N of push force at typical shop air pressure. If you can accept a smaller footprint, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work, the SC125 bore steps up to 6136 N at the same pressure. Always match bore, 130 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and the basic mounting configuration when replacing an existing cylinder.
At 130 mm stroke the rod is well supported inside the barrel, but any side load should still be managed with an external guide or linear rail to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear.
Quick checklist
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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC100 cylinder of the same stroke, port thread, and mounting style.
