About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X25
The AirTAC SC100X25 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short-throw clamping and pressing operations. Its 25 mm rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration in a compact 188 mm body length.
This 100 mm bore actuator uses PT1/2 ports and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa. With a maximum push force of 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, it handles demanding industrial tasks while the TPU seals ensure smooth cycling from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X25 Is Used
Pneumatic Clamping
Short 25 mm stroke and 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for workpiece clamping in machining centres and welding fixtures.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for bearing insertion, dowel pressing, and light staking operations in automated assembly lines.
Part Stops & Gates
Quick-extend, quick-retract action for stopping or diverting heavy packages on roller conveyors and pallet-handling systems.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X25 the Right Cylinder?
For higher force in the same bore family, step up to the SC125 (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact option, the SC80 provides 2513 N. The short 25 mm stroke is well-suited to clamping fixtures where side loading is minimal.
When replacing, match five points: 100 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). Always verify the tie-rod mounting dimensions against your existing setup.
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 SC100X25 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X25 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the valve is centred. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
