About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560S
The AirTAC SC100X560S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder engineered for mid-range automation tasks requiring a 100 mm bore and a 560 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N, while at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push thrust reaches 7068 N, providing ample power for pressing, clamping, and lifting operations.
This model features a built-in magnet (denoted by the -S suffix), allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and solid-state sensors along the barrel for precise, non-contact end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position feedback. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 port thread ensure robust mechanical connection and high flow capacity, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce noise and extend service life.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560S Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
Deploys a 100mm bore cylinder with a 560mm stroke to stop and transfer heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The built-in magnet provides reliable end-of-stroke confirmation to the PLC.
Waste Compaction
Drives a compaction plate in recycling equipment, using the 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa to crush cardboard and plastic waste. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact at the end of the 560mm stroke.
Automated Welding Fixture
Positions a heavy welding jig with a 560mm linear movement. The tie-rod construction handles the repetitive shock, and the magnetic piston allows sensors to verify the fixture is fully retracted.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application demands a push force between roughly 2500 N and 7000 N at standard shop air pressures. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For lower force needs, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N push at the same pressure. For this 560 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loading; long, unsupported strokes can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. If side loads are unavoidable, use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to absorb the lateral forces.
For a direct drop-in replacement, match five key specifications: a 100 mm bore, a 560 mm stroke, a PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility, and the basic (no bracket) mounting configuration. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length than an ISO 15552 profile, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
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 SC100X560S 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 0.9 MPa pressure, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X560S is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain its position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston rod can drift or drop. For load holding, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
