About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X530
The AirTAC SC100X530 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering substantial force for medium-to-heavy linear automation tasks. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling, with a maximum theoretical thrust of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, making it a capable actuator for pressing, clamping, and lifting.
This model features a 100 mm bore, a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads, and a 530 mm stroke. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 718 mm. It includes PT1/2 ports and an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X530 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily raises heavy pallets or stops them on a conveyor line, with the 530 mm stroke providing ample lift height for transfer stations.
Heavy Part Clamping
Apply consistent, high-force clamping in welding or machining fixtures. The adjustable cushion protects tooling from impact at the end of the 530 mm stroke.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
Eject compacted material with up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa. The long 530 mm stroke clears the full depth of a baling chamber or compactor.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X530 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure; if your load is closer to 2500 N, stepping down to an SC80 (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or longer like this 530 mm model, always evaluate side-loading on the 25 mm rod—an external guide rail or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 530 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC or an equivalent tie-rod design.
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 SC100X530 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.
For a 530 mm stroke on a 25 mm rod, side loads can cause rod deflection and seal damage. If the load is not perfectly guided along the rod axis, use an external guide rail or a rod-less guided actuator to ensure long service life.
