About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360
The SC100X360 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 360 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke, making it a capable mid-range actuator for general automation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 port threads ensure straightforward pneumatic connections.
With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 548 mm. This model is configured with the standard TPU seals for an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and uses the default PT port threads. It is a genuine AirTAC SC cylinder, built for reliable service in industrial air systems filtered to 40 µm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360 Is Used
Material Handling & Diverting
The 360 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa are well-suited for actuating gates, pushers, and diverters on packaging and material handling lines.
Clamping & Assembly Fixtures
Provides consistent, controlled clamping force for assembly jigs and welding fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects tooling and parts from impact damage at the end of the 360 mm stroke.
Press & Forming Operations
Delivers up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for light pressing, forming, or stamping tasks in a compact tie-rod cylinder format, suitable for integration into automated work cells.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360 the Right Cylinder?
The SC100 bore delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, bridging the gap between the smaller SC80 (2513 N) and the larger SC125 (6136 N). If your application requires higher force, stepping up to the SC125 provides a significant boost; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 is a strong alternative. For this 360 mm stroke, be mindful of side loads on the 25 mm rod—consider an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not purely axial. When replacing an existing unit, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no integrated bracket), and the absence of a 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 SC100X360 FAQ
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 1.0 MPa, the theoretical push force reaches 7068 N.
No. The SC series is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold position without live air pressure. If the air supply is exhausted or a directional valve is centered, the piston rod can drift or drop under load. A pilot-operated check valve or external mechanical rod lock is required for static load holding.
