The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X450N is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 450mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X450N is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 450 mm stroke, fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals for consistent performance in standard industrial environments. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke, while at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the push thrust reaches 7068 N.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 rod thread and PT1/2 port connections. The adjustable air cushion at each end provides a 29 mm deceleration zone, helping to reduce end-of-stroke impact. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 638 mm, making it a compact choice for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily lifts and transfers loaded pallets or heavy cases on packaging lines, where the 450 mm stroke provides ample reach for cross-pushing conveyors.
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for CNC fixture tables and welding jigs, holding large fabrications securely during machining or assembly.
Suited to small hydraulic-press alternatives for punching, riveting, or forming operations, where the 100 mm bore provides the high force density needed in a compact tie-rod body.
For applications needing slightly less force in the same form factor, the 80 mm bore SC80 series delivers 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. If the 3927 N push force of this SC100X450N is marginal, stepping up to the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At 450 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is well-supported inside the barrel, but any significant side load should be managed with an external linear guide or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and piston seals.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread (this model retains the standard PT thread), the basic mounting configuration (no integral bracket), and the absence of a built-in magnet. The NBR seal material is suited to standard temperature ranges and lubricated or non-lubricated compressed air.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa (approximately 5 bar) the cylinder produces 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force. At the maximum rated operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The NBR (nitrile) seals in the SC100X450N are compatible with both lubricated and non-lubricated compressed air filtered to 40 µm. If you switch from lubricated to dry air, no seal change is required, though residual oil may temporarily affect initial dry-running friction.
