About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500N
The SC100X500N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion handle mid-range linear moves with controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This 500 mm stroke model stays within the standard stroke range for the 100 mm bore, which extends to 1500 mm. The N suffix specifies NBR (nitrile) seals, making it a solid choice for general industrial air where standard temperature resilience is required.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500N Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
Provides the controlled force to raise and lower heavy pallet stops or transfer arms on conveyor lines, with the 29 mm cushion absorbing impact at the end of the 500 mm stroke.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces during machining or assembly, with NBR seals suitable for lubricated air systems.
Bin & Hopper Gate Actuation
Operates heavy slide gates on bulk material bins or hoppers, using the 500 mm stroke for full-open/full-close motion and the tie-rod construction for reliable service in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500N the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard shop air; if you can work with about 2500 N, stepping down to the SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption. At a 500 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side load—if lateral forces are present, add an external guide rail or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mount (no bracket), and the absence of a magnet. This model uses NBR seals, so confirm seal compatibility with your lubricant and environment.
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 SC100X500N 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.
Yes, if the original was a basic-mount SC100 with a 500 mm stroke and PT ports. The 'N' suffix means this unit has NBR seals instead of the default TPU. Ensure NBR is compatible with your operating temperature and lubrication, and that your original cylinder did not have a built-in magnet (no -S suffix).
