About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180N
The AirTAC SC100X180N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, this tie-rod cylinder is built for demanding linear applications, featuring a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion for smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model is equipped with NBR (nitrile) seals, making it a reliable choice for general industrial environments within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range. The body length A is 188 mm, resulting in a compact total extended length of approximately 368 mm for easy integration into machinery.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180N Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for heavy-duty pusher stations on pallet conveyors, reliably diverting or positioning loaded pallets without stalling.
Industrial Press Frames
Used in clamping and light press-fit operations, the SC100X180N provides a consistent, controlled force up to 7068 N, suitable for holding workpieces during welding or assembly.
Damper and Gate Actuation
With its adjustable cushion and robust 25 mm rod, this cylinder smoothly operates heavy hopper gates or air dampers in processing plants, absorbing kinetic energy at the stroke ends.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180N the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring higher force, consider stepping up to the SC125 bore which provides 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If a lower force profile is acceptable, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at the same pressure. This 180 mm stroke is well within the standard range, but always ensure side loads are managed with external guides, as the tie-rod design relies on the rod bearing for support.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and no magnet. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC100 series cylinder.
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 SC100X180N FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 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 with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
