About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250N
The SC100X250N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 100 mm bore and 250 mm stroke suit medium-travel clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks where consistent thrust is required.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals as standard, making it a cost-effective choice for general industrial air service. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connection.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250N Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably raises and lowers pallet stops or transfers on conveyor lines, handling heavy totes with the 250 mm stroke.
Assembly Press
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bushings or bearings into housings. The 29 mm cushion absorbs impact during high-speed assembly cycling.
Clamping Fixture
Used in welding or machining fixtures to clamp large workpieces. The NBR seals offer reliable performance with standard filtered air, and the 25 mm rod resists bending under axial load.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250N the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, the SC125 bore steps up to 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; for lighter, faster cycling, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure. With a 250 mm stroke, rod bearing loads are moderate, but any side force should be managed with an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod and seals.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT port thread, NBR seal material, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with another AirTAC SC100X250N tie-rod unit.
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 SC100X250N 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 AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and NBR seals.
