About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50
The AirTAC SC100X50 is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port threads suit general industrial automation tasks where a compact stroke with high force is required.
This model features a body length of 188 mm plus the 50 mm stroke for a compact extended envelope. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting end caps and reducing noise. Built with TPU seals for a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, it is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder ready for demanding factory environments.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50 Is Used
Heavy Clamping & Pressing
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for pneumatic clamping fixtures, small presses, and riveting stations where a short, powerful stroke is needed.
Material Stops & Gates
Use the SC100X50 as a robust end-stop or diverter gate on conveyor lines. Its high force holds position firmly against product momentum in packaging and sortation systems.
Die Cushion & Ejection
In metal forming or injection molding, the cylinder provides a controlled ejection stroke. The adjustable cushion helps manage the sudden release of force at the end of travel.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push force at standard plant air pressure. If your load is lighter, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and may reduce air consumption. For heavier demands, the SC125 steps up to 6136 N. This 50 mm stroke is well within the bore's 1500 mm maximum standard stroke. When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnet is needed—this model has no built-in magnet.
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 SC100X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) air pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. For a drop-in replacement, you must match another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with the same 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT ports, and basic mounting configuration.
