About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230
The AirTAC SC100X230 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). Its 230 mm stroke and 25 mm diameter piston rod suit medium-reach clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks where a robust force output is needed.
With a body length A of 188 mm, the extended length reaches 418 mm. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends, reducing impact noise. This model uses standard PT1/2 ports and the default TPU seal for reliable operation in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily lifts and stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the 230 mm stroke providing ample reach for cross-transfer mechanisms.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Ideal for weld fixtures and assembly jigs requiring a firm, controlled clamp. The 25 mm rod resists deflection under the 3681 N pull force, maintaining alignment during high-cycle operations.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for inserting bearings, bushings, or dowels. The adjustable cushion protects the tooling and part from impact damage at the end of the 230 mm advance stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230 the Right Cylinder?
For a 100 mm bore, the SC100X230 provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires a more compact actuator with lower force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series outputs 2513 N at the same pressure. For higher force demands, stepping up to the 125 mm bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. Always match the bore, 230 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and mounting style when replacing an existing cylinder.
At a 230 mm stroke, the rod bearing is well-supported for axial loads. However, if the application involves any side loading, even a small radial force can cause rod bending or premature seal wear. An external guide rail or a guided-cylinder configuration is recommended to absorb lateral forces and protect the rod and bearing.
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 SC100X230 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 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 and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same 230 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and matching mounting accessories.
