About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215
The SC100X215 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and 215 mm stroke, it uses a rigid 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 knuckle thread, making it a strong linear drive for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks.
This model features a body length A of 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 403 mm. The adjustable pneumatic cushion at each end (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. Standard PT1/2 ports and TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range are included, ensuring reliable performance in standard factory air systems.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably raises pallet stops and transfers on conveyor lines, handling heavy totes with the 215 mm stroke for positive engagement.
Clamping & Fixturing
Applies up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments or castings during machining, with the 215 mm stroke providing ample clearance for part loading.
Bin Diverter Gate
Operates a diverter gate on gravity chutes or sortation systems. The robust 25 mm rod and adjustable cushion manage the impact of the gate reaching its end position.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X215 when the SC80 series force (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) is marginal for your load. If you need even higher force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa). For this 215 mm stroke, side loads must be avoided; the 25 mm rod can bend under lateral force. If your application cannot guarantee purely axial loading, add an external guide rail or consider a guided cylinder.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory) configuration, and no built-in magnet. This SC100X215 is a direct dimensional match only for another AirTAC SC100X215 tie-rod 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 SC100X215 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 SC100X215 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered, the piston rod can drift or drop. For load-holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
