About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SLB
The SC100X500SLB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 500 mm stroke, this model is built for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where consistent force is required.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-position sensing. The LB foot mount (F-SC100LB) provides a stable axial mounting solution, bolting the cylinder body directly to the machine frame. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing impact noise and vibration.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SLB Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa easily lifts or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The LB foot mount secures the cylinder to the conveyor frame for reliable vertical or horizontal actuation.
Press & Clamping Fixtures
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining or assembly. The built-in magnet allows sensors to confirm the clamp is fully engaged before the cycle starts.
Material Handling Gate
Operates a heavy diverter gate or chute in bulk material handling. The adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the gate at the end of its 500 mm travel, protecting the cylinder and structure.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X500SLB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application requires a force class between the SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) and the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). For strokes of 500 mm, ensure the load is guided and free of significant side forces; the 25 mm rod is robust, but long unsupported strokes can induce bending moments. Always use an external guide or linear bearing for off-axis loads.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT port thread, LB foot mounting, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a non-ISO tie-rod cylinder; it is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder and is not a drop-in interchange for that standard.
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 SC100X500SLB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 SC100X500SLB is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop under load. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
