About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X295
The AirTAC SC100X295 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 295 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread, making it well-suited for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where a compact body length is required.
This model features PT1/2 pneumatic ports and an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 483 mm. The standard operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s, using air filtered to 40 µm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X295 Is Used
Material Handling Pushers
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for diverting or pushing medium-weight packages and products off a conveyor line, providing a reliable 295 mm sweep.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent, high-force clamping for workpieces in CNC machining or welding fixtures. The adjustable cushioning prevents part damage from hard stops during the 295 mm clamping stroke.
Automated Gate Actuation
Suitable for opening and closing hopper gates or chute doors in bulk material handling, using its long 295 mm stroke and robust 25 mm rod to manage heavy sliding panels.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X295 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. This 295 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore. When replacing an existing cylinder, ensure a precise match on all five key points: 100 mm bore, 295 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet.
For strokes of 300 mm or more, always assess the potential for side loading on the extended rod. Although this model is just under that threshold, any lateral force in your application can cause rod deflection and premature bearing wear. If side load is present, consider pairing the cylinder with an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod and seals.
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 SC100X295 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder design and is physically shorter than a standard ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, and port thread.
