About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X315
The SC100X315 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 315 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration for mid-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 503 mm. The standard PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod thread offer straightforward pneumatic connections, while the TPU seals ensure consistent operation from -20 to +70 °C. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder is a robust choice for industrial automation requiring a substantial force output in a compact tie-rod design.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X315 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably stops and transfers heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the 315 mm stroke providing ample reach across wide roller beds.
Heavy Part Clamping
Apply consistent, high-force clamping for large weldments or castings during machining. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by decelerating the 25 mm rod at stroke end.
Bin Diverter Gate
Actuate a diverter chute in bulk material handling. The 100 mm bore provides the thrust to move a heavy gate against material weight, while the tie-rod design handles dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X315 the Right Cylinder?
The SC100X315 suits applications needing the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires a lighter, more compact actuator, stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may be appropriate. For heavier demands, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At 315 mm stroke, the unsupported rod can experience bending under side loads; consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial.
For a direct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 315 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this basic model has none), and the magnet option (this unit has no built-in magnet). Always verify the tie-rod body length A of 188 mm against your existing mounting space, as the SC series is shorter than ISO 15552 cylinders.
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 SC100X315 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC100X315 produces a push force of 5497 N and a pull force of 3681 N (retracting). The maximum push force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N. These values assume a static piston; dynamic forces may be slightly lower.
No, the AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions are not interchangeable. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same 315 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting configuration.
