About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225
The SC100X225 is a double-acting tie-rod 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 100 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke, this model uses a rigid 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 pneumatic ports for high-flow connections.
This genuine AirTAC actuator features an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, with a cushion length of 29 mm. The body length A is 188 mm, making the total extended length approximately 413 mm, a compact footprint for a cylinder in this force class.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225 Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
The 3927 N push force at standard line pressure is ideal for heavy-duty pneumatic clamps and assembly presses, holding workpieces securely during machining or welding.
Material Handling
Used as a pneumatic stop or diverter on conveyor lines, this cylinder can reliably halt or redirect pallets and boxes weighing hundreds of kilograms.
Industrial Automation
A workhorse actuator for lifting, tilting, or ejecting heavy components in automated production cells, where consistent double-acting control is essential.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption. If more force is required, the 125 mm bore model provides 6136 N at the same pressure. This 225 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
When replacing this cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X225 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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X225 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
