About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380
The SC100X380 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 380 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling force, rising to 7068 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure—ideal for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 port connections. The body length A is 188 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 568 mm. Its 29 mm adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise without locking the load.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380 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 380 mm stroke providing ample reach across wide roller beds.
Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces during machining or welding, where the adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
Ideal for ejecting compacted material bales in recycling equipment, using the full 380 mm stroke to push loads clear of the chamber with consistent double-acting control.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X380 when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard shop air. If you can accept a slightly lower force in a more compact envelope, stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may reduce weight and cost. For strokes of 300 mm or more, the 25 mm rod on this 100 mm bore cylinder is susceptible to bending under side load—consider an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this basic model has no bracket), and the magnet option (this unit has no built-in magnet). The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile 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 SC100X380 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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X380 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
