The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X470 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 470mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
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.

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.
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.
Actuates a heavy diverter gate in agricultural handling equipment, directing grain or feed flow. The tie-rod design withstands dusty environments with proper filtration.
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
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.
