About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400N
The AirTAC SC100X400N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 400 mm stroke suit medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where a compact footprint is needed—the body length A is just 188 mm, keeping the total extended length around 588 mm.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals as standard, offering reliable performance within the standard -20 to +70 °C range. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage end-of-stroke deceleration for smooth cycling in industrial automation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400N Is Used
Press & Clamping Fixtures
With 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides ample force for pneumatic toggle clamps, assembly presses, and holding fixtures in metalworking cells.
Material Lifting & Tilting
The 400 mm stroke and 100 mm bore are well-suited for lifting or tilting medium-weight bins and totes on packaging lines, where smooth cushioning prevents product damage.
Diverter & Gate Actuation
Use the SC100X400N to power diverters, gates, or stops on conveyor systems. The adjustable cushion handles the inertia of moving parts reliably at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X400N the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X400N when your application needs around 3900 N of force at typical shop air. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and cost. For heavier work, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At 400 mm stroke, side-loading on the 25 mm rod becomes a key consideration—always align the load axially or use an external guide to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and no magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100.
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 SC100X400N FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder matching the 400 mm stroke, PT ports, and NBR seals.
