About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SFB
The SC100X500SFB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure). Its 100 mm bore and 500 mm stroke suit medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where rear-flange mounting simplifies machine integration.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and an FB rear rectangular flange (F-SC100FB) for rigid cap-end mounting. The 25 mm diameter rod, PT1/2 ports, and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable deceleration. Genuine AirTAC SC series tie-rod cylinder, factory tested to 1.5 MPa proof pressure.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SFB Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, directing product flows with the 500 mm stroke for full lane coverage.
Press-Fit Assembly Stations
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for consistent press-fit insertion of bearings or bushings. The FB rear flange mounts solidly to a machine column, and the magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing.
Pallet Stop & Lift Mechanisms
With a 500 mm stroke and robust 25 mm rod, this cylinder operates heavy pallet stops or lift-and-locate units in automated warehouses, cushioned to reduce impact at end of travel.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SFB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If force requirements are lower, step down to the SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa); for heavier loads, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. Always match bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, FB rear-flange mounting, and the -S magnet when replacing an existing unit.
At 500 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is subject to bending under side load. Evaluate the application for off-axis forces and consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if the rod must support a transverse load without binding.
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 SC100X500SFB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes. The -S suffix in the model code means a magnet is built into the piston. You can directly clamp AirTAC CMSG (reed) or DMSG/EMSG (solid-state) sensors onto the barrel to detect piston position without any extra mounting hardware.
