About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500
The AirTAC SC100X1500 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 1500 mm stroke make it a workhorse for long-travel linear actuation in heavy industrial settings.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 pneumatic ports, and an adjustable air cushion with a 29 mm cushion length to decelerate end-of-stroke loads smoothly. The total body length A is 188 mm, giving an extended length of approximately 1688 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500 Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy pallets and components across wide conveyor gaps or transfer stations with a full 1.5-meter reach.
Heavy Press Feed Systems
Advances large metal sheets or composite panels into stamping presses and forming machines, leveraging 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa.
Sawmill & Log Handling
Positions logs or actuates large gates and diverters in sawmill operations, where long travel and high push force are essential.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X1500 when your application needs the force of a 100 mm bore over a full 1500 mm stroke. If 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is more force than required, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At this 1500 mm stroke length, the piston rod is fully extended and vulnerable to bending under side loads. Always use an external guide system or a guided cylinder variant to protect the rod and bearing from misalignment. For exact drop-in replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 1500 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no 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 SC100X1500 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
A 1500 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod is susceptible to buckling and side-load deflection. Do not use this cylinder to guide or support a lateral load directly. Install an external linear guide rail or rod support, or consider an AirTAC guided cylinder assembly to absorb transverse forces and protect the rod bearing.
