About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560SN
The SC100X560SN is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with 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, providing substantial power for medium-to-heavy industrial linear motion tasks.
This model is fitted with NBR (nitrile) seals, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose factory air systems within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range. The cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, an M20x1.5 rod thread, and PT1/2 port threads. Its total extended body length is approximately 748 mm, based on a body length A of 188 mm plus the 560 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560SN Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 560 mm stroke is ideal for raising heavy pallet stops or lift-and-transfer gates in automated conveyor lines, providing robust, repeatable actuation.
Heavy Part Clamping
Delivers a controlled 3681 N pull force at 0.5 MPa for secure clamping of large weldments or castings in machining fixtures, where the NBR seals offer reliable performance with standard shop air.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
The long 560 mm stroke and high force output make this cylinder suitable for ejecting compacted material bales from industrial balers, pushing the finished block clear of the chamber.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X560SN the Right Cylinder?
With a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, the SC100 bore is a significant step up from the SC80 (2513 N). If your application requires a force closer to 6000 N, consider moving up to the SC125 bore (6136 N). For this 560 mm stroke, which is long but within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, ensure the load is guided externally if any side forces are present to prevent rod bending.
For a direct replacement, match the SC100 bore, 560 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, and the NBR seal material. This basic mount cylinder has no integrated magnet, so if you need position sensing, select a model with the -S suffix for CMSG/DMSG sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X560SN FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N and the pull force is 5153 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N push.
No. This model code does not include the -S magnet option. The piston does not have a built-in magnetic ring, so reed or solid-state sensors like CMSG/DMSG cannot be used. For sensor-ready operation, order the SC100X560S-SN variant.
