The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X533 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 533mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X533 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 533 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model features a PT1/2 port thread and standard TPU seals rated for -20 to +70 C. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 721 mm. The 533 mm stroke falls within the standard maximum of 1500 mm for this bore, making it a readily available configuration for industrial automation.

Moves heavy pallets or totes across roller conveyors in distribution centers, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to shift loads reliably.
Provides the controlled 7068 N thrust at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowels into machined components on assembly lines.
Drives the compaction plate in small-to-medium recycling balers, leveraging the 100 mm bore's force to compress cardboard or plastics.
Choose the SC100 when your application requires around 3927 N of push force at standard shop air. If you need less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure; for heavier loads, the SC125 delivers 6136 N. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five key points: 100 mm bore, 533 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no accessory bracket), and the absence of a magnet.
For strokes over 300 mm like this 533 mm unit, be cautious of side loading. The unsupported 25 mm rod can experience bending stress if the load is not guided externally. Use external guide rails or a guided cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearing and ensure long service life.
Quick checklist
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 SC100X533 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift or drop under load. For position holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
