About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510
The AirTAC SC100X510 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 510 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly over the final 29 mm of travel.
The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 698 mm. This cylinder is built with TPU/NBR seals for a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and uses filtered air at 40 µm. The 510 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size, making it a readily available configuration.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510 Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
Moves heavy pallets between conveyor lanes with the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, providing the robust linear motion needed for reliable material handling.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings, with the adjustable cushion softening the impact at the end of the 510 mm stroke.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Secures large workpieces in CNC fixtures or welding jigs, using the 25 mm rod's rigidity and the cylinder's high clamping force to maintain position under load.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X510 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X510 when your application requires a force class around 4000 N at standard plant air pressure. If your load is lighter and you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to the SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force demands, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. At a 510 mm stroke, the rod is extended significantly; ensure side loads are minimal or use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: a 100 mm bore, 510 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and a non-magnetic piston. This ensures dimensional and performance interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder.
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 SC100X510 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.
No, the SC100X510 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift. To hold a load safely, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
