About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470
The AirTAC SC100X470 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 470 mm stroke, this unit is built for medium-to-heavy industrial linear tasks where robust force and moderate travel are required.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the load smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 658 mm. It operates on 40 µm filtered air from 0.15-1.0 MPa and uses standard TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
Raises or stops heavy pallets on gravity or powered conveyors, with 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to securely hold and release loads in distribution centers.
Press & Clamp Fixture
Provides the high clamping force needed for assembly jigs, gluing fixtures, or light-duty stamping presses, using the 470 mm stroke to accommodate deep parts.
Grain Chute Diverter
Actuates a heavy diverter gate in agricultural handling equipment, directing grain or feed flow. The tie-rod design withstands dusty environments with proper filtration.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X470 when your application needs the 3927 N push force of a 100 mm bore at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier loads, a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At 470 mm stroke, the piston rod is extended significantly. Ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending on the 25 mm rod, which can damage the rod bearing and seals. For replacement, match exactly: 100 mm bore, 470 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC100X470 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X470 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
