The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X145 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 145mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X145 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 145 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making this a standard, readily available configuration.
A 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust guidance and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for medium-to-heavy linear tasks. The cylinder body length is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 333 mm. It features standard PT1/2 ports and operates reliably from -20 to +70 °C with its default TPU seals.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the 145 mm stroke providing a decisive lift or transfer distance.
With 7068 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder delivers the high clamping pressure needed to secure large weldments or castings during machining.
The robust 25 mm rod and adjustable cushion handle the repetitive impact of diverting heavy bulk materials, ensuring a long service life in dusty warehouse environments.
For applications needing more force, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa, while the SC80 bore offers a more compact option at 2513 N. The 145 mm stroke is standard for this bore, ensuring no lead-time penalty for non-standard travel.
To ensure a direct drop-in replacement, match five key points: the 100 mm bore, 145 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series cylinders of this exact configuration.
Quick checklist
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure, 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 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 standards. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
