About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SCB
The AirTAC SC100X500SCB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 500 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks, featuring a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for mounting CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors directly on the barrel, and a rear double clevis mount (CB, part F-SC100CB) for pivoting attachment. The standard PT ports and TPU seals provide reliable operation in normal industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SCB Is Used
Pallet Lifting & Transfer
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for lifting and transferring heavy pallets in automated warehouses, with the rear clevis mount allowing the cylinder to pivot during the lift cycle.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Apply up to 7068 N of clamping force in large welding or machining fixtures. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke position sensing to confirm the clamp is fully engaged.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Power a diverter gate on a high-throughput conveyor line. The rear double clevis mount provides a stable, articulated pivot point for the 500 mm stroke pushing action.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SCB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X500SCB when your application needs approximately 4000 N of force at standard plant air pressure. For a step down in force, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for a step up, the 125 mm bore delivers 6136 N. This 500 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, ensuring standard lead times.
For a 500 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side loads. A long, unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral force, causing premature seal and bearing wear. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder if side loading is present. To replace an existing unit, match the 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, rear double clevis mounting, and the built-in magnet feature.
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 SC100X500SCB 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.
The CB mount is a fork-shaped bracket attached to the rear cap, allowing the entire cylinder to pivot. This is essential for applications where the load path is not perfectly linear, preventing bending stress on the piston rod. The mounting accessory part code is F-SC100CB.
