The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X250SCB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X250SCB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a powerful actuator for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks. This 100 mm bore model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm to decelerate the 250 mm stroke smoothly.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a rear double clevis (CB) mount, supplied as part F-SC100CB. The clevis allows the cylinder body to pivot, accommodating angular motion in the application. The default TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Pneumatically actuates a reject gate on a high-speed conveyor, using the 3927 N force to reliably divert heavy or non-conforming packages off the line.
Provides powerful, consistent clamping force in a robotic welding cell. The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to swing clear for easy part loading and unloading.
Drives the compaction plate in a small industrial baler or compactor, generating up to 7068 N of thrust at full pressure to densify cardboard or waste material.
With a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, the SC100 bore suits heavy clamping, pressing, or lifting operations. If your load requires less force, stepping down to an SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For a 250 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; if lateral forces are present, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the CB rear double clevis mounting, and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility. This ensures the new cylinder fits the existing pivot points and sensor setup without modification.
Quick checklist
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.
It is a direct match for an AirTAC SC100 cylinder with a 250 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, a rear double clevis (CB) mount, and a built-in magnet for sensors. Always verify these five dimensions and features, as the SC series is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
