About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X418
The SC100X418 is a 100 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, delivering a practical push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and a maximum theoretical force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its 418 mm stroke makes it a strong candidate for medium-reach material handling and clamping tasks where a 25 mm diameter piston rod provides robust column strength.
This model features a body length A of 188 mm and an adjustable air cushion stroke of 29 mm, which decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel to reduce noise and vibration. The standard PT1/2 port and M20x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections, while the TPU seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X418 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines, providing reliable material handling with the 418 mm stroke for vertical lift sections.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Ideal for welding fixtures and assembly jigs, this cylinder applies up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa to hold large workpieces securely during machining or joining processes.
Bin Tipping & Dumping
With a 418 mm stroke and robust 25 mm rod, it powers bin tippers and dumpers in warehousing, handling bulk material transfer with the adjustable cushion softening the end-of-travel impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X418 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For a lighter load, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces force to 2513 N at the same pressure; stepping up to a 125 mm bore increases it to 6136 N. For this 418 mm stroke, ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide rail, as the unsupported 25 mm rod can experience bending moments under off-axis forces.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points to ensure a drop-in fit: identical 100 mm bore, 418 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no) mounting accessory, and no built-in magnet. This AirTAC SC model 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 SC100X418 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 SC100X418 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
