About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150
The SC100X150 is a robust double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 150 mm stroke, this model is a workhorse for medium-stroke clamping and pressing operations.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 188 mm body length and an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The standard PT1/2 ports and TPU seals provide reliable operation within a -20 to +70 °C temperature range.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates 3927 N at 0.5 MPa for secure workpiece holding in machining centres and welding fixtures.
Part Transfer
The 150 mm stroke moves heavy pallets or components between conveyor lines with a robust 25 mm rod.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for inserting bearings, bushings, or pins into tight housings.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150 the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter stroke and lower force are acceptable, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and basic mounting when replacing this cylinder.
At this 150 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported for axial loads. If side loads are present, an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
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 SC100X150 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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100X150 or a tie-rod cylinder matching the 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, and PT1/2 ports.
