About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290
The AirTAC SC100X290 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 290 mm stroke suit medium-travel clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks where a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod provides the necessary column strength.
This model features a body length A of 188 mm and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. Standard PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, while the TPU seals maintain reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably raises and lowers pallet stops or transfers heavy totes on conveyor lines with a 290 mm stroke.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Ideal for welding or assembly fixtures, this cylinder applies up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa to hold large workpieces securely during processing.
Press & Forming Assist
Delivers controlled, repeatable linear motion for small hydraulic press alternatives or forming dies, using the 29 mm adjustable cushion to soften end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X290 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore provides. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure.
At a 290 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is generally stable, but any significant side load requires an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing from bending moments. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet (-S).
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 SC100X290 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the 100 mm bore, 290 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting.
