About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X405
The SC100X405 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 405 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N of push force, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it delivers 7068 N, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 port connections. The adjustable air cushion at each end (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 593 mm. Standard TPU seals provide an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X405 Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
The 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa makes the SC100X405 ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures, light-duty presses, and assembly jigs where consistent holding pressure is required.
Material Handling Gates
With a 405 mm stroke, this cylinder is well-suited for actuating diverter gates or stop pins on conveyor lines, sorting parcels or pallets by size and destination.
Lifting & Tilting Mechanisms
Use the SC100X405 in scissor lifts or bin tippers. Its 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction provide the structural rigidity needed for guided vertical lifting of bins or hoppers.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X405 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X405 when your application needs around 4000 N of force at standard shop air. If you require higher force in the same envelope, stepping up to the SC125 bore yields 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For lighter, faster cycling, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. At a 405 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from significant side loads; an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 405 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no accessories), and the absence of a magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder 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 SC100X405 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, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC100X405 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
