About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340
The SC100X340 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 100 mm bore and a 340 mm stroke, this actuator is built for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks where a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports provide the necessary structural stiffness and air flow.
This model features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 528 mm. As a standard-stroke model within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore, it is a genuine AirTAC component designed for reliable industrial service.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the SC100X340 reliably raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, absorbing impact through its adjustable cushion.
Heavy Press & Clamping
The 7068 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa makes this cylinder suitable for pneumatic clamping fixtures and light press-fit assembly stations requiring a 340 mm stroke.
Bin Dumper & Tilter
Used in a pivoting setup, this cylinder provides the linear force to tilt heavy bins or hoppers, with the 25 mm rod offering good column strength for the 340 mm travel.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X340 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between roughly 2500 N and 4500 N of force at typical shop air pressures; if you can accept a lower force, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption. For strokes of 340 mm, ensure the load is guided and purely axial—a 25 mm rod extending over half a meter is susceptible to bending under side load, so use an external guide or linear bearing when off-axis forces are present. For a direct replacement, match bore (100 mm), stroke (340 mm), PT1/2 port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC100X340 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X340 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke ends—it does not lock or brake the load. For position holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
