About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X245
The SC100X245 is a 100 mm bore, 245 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series. It generates a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the standard maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration and structural rigidity for the 245 mm working stroke.
This cylinder uses PT1/2 threaded ports and an M20x1.5 rod thread for straightforward pneumatic and mechanical connection. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 433 mm. Its TPU seals with NBR construction suit standard operating temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. The SC100X245 is a genuine AirTAC component, factory-tested to a 1.5 MPa proof pressure.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X245 Is Used
Pallet Transfer
Pushes or lifts pallets between conveyor lines with a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, handling heavy unit loads in distribution centers.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings on automated assembly stations.
Material Clamping
Provides strong, consistent clamping force for large workpieces on CNC machining centers or welding fixtures.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X245 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X245 when your application needs around 4000 N of force at typical plant pressure. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (SC80) reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, saving energy and space. For higher force demands, the 125 mm bore (SC125) provides 6136 N at the same pressure. Always match the bore, 245 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and basic mounting when replacing this cylinder. For strokes of 300 mm or more, consider an external guide system to protect the rod from bending under side loads.
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 SC100X245 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 5497 N. The maximum operating push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. This is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift or the load will drop. A pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock is required for static load holding.
