About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SN
The SC100X50SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a short 50 mm stroke, delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This model is configured with NBR (nitrile) seals, making it a solid choice for general industrial environments operating within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range.
Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port ensure high flow for rapid cycling in compact clamping, pressing, or ejecting tasks. The cylinder body length A is 188 mm, and with a 29 mm air cushion at each end, it decelerates heavy loads smoothly. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it generates 7068 N of force, providing a powerful push in a compact form factor.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SN Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Applies up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for securely holding large workpieces during machining or welding, with a short 50 mm stroke for fast clamp/unclamp cycles.
Punch Press Actuation
The robust 25 mm rod and tie-rod construction withstand the high side loads of a small punch or stamping operation, delivering a powerful, repeatable linear stroke.
Product Rejection Gate
Quickly extends to divert heavy packages or components off a conveyor line. The adjustable cushioning ensures quiet, low-impact operation at high cycle rates.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X50SN the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing a shorter stroke with high force, this 50 mm stroke model is ideal. If your cycle demands a longer reach, consider stepping up to a 100 mm or 150 mm stroke in the same 100 mm bore. Should you require even more force, the 125 mm bore SC125 series offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and NBR seal material.
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 SC100X50SN FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. 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.
Yes. As a basic model, it can be fitted with AirTAC SC100 mounting accessories like the LB foot mount (F-SC100LB), FA/FB flanges, or CA/CB clevises. It does not have a built-in magnet, so magnetic sensors cannot be directly mounted on the barrel.
