About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235
The SC100X235 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, pairing a 100 mm bore with a 235 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, while the maximum operating thrust at 0.9 MPa reaches 7068 N—enough for medium-to-heavy clamping, pressing, and lifting tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 423 mm. Its adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at stroke end to reduce impact, and the standard TPU seals suit operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the SC100X235 reliably raises pallet stops and transfers heavy totes on conveyor lines, absorbing impact through its 29 mm adjustable cushion.
Clamping & Fixturing
The 7068 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures in machining and welding cells, where rigid part holding is critical.
Press & Assembly Tools
Delivers a controlled 235 mm stroke for pressing bearings, bushings, or rivets. The tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance in high-cycle assembly stations.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X235 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you can accept a smaller footprint, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and may fit tighter spaces. For strokes of 235 mm, side-loading is a key consideration—always guide the load externally or use a guided cylinder if the rod must absorb lateral forces, because the 25 mm rod is not designed to carry bending moments.
To replace an existing cylinder, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 235 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. The SC series is a tie-rod design 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 SC100X235 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa push force rises to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X235 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if supply pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
