About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X575
The SC100X575 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 575 mm stroke, it is built for applications that need to move heavy payloads over a moderate distance, using a 25 mm diameter piston rod for robust load handling.
This model features PT1/2 ports and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end, allowing you to dial in smooth deceleration for high-inertia loads. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 763 mm. As a tie-rod design, it is shorter than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X575 Is Used
Palletizer Lift Assist
Provides the high force needed to lift and stack heavy pallets or slip sheets in end-of-line packaging systems, with the 575 mm stroke covering a full layer height change.
Heavy Part Rejection Gate
Actuates a robust diverter gate on a wide conveyor line, using its 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to reliably redirect 50+ kg packages without stalling.
Press-Fit Assembly Station
Delivers a controlled 7068 N insertion force at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into large housings, with the adjustable cushion preventing impact damage at the end of the stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X575 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application requires a force class between 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces the push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, which can save on air consumption and physical space. For a 575 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side-loading; the 25 mm rod is robust, but an unsupported long stroke can create a bending moment. Use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and seal from premature wear.
For a drop-in replacement, match these five key points: 100 mm bore, 575 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no-bracket) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures the new cylinder fits your existing plumbing and machine interface without modification.
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 SC100X575 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 operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf, but this exceeds the rated operating range.
No. The SC100X575 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or drop under load. For load-holding applications, you must add an external pilot-operated check valve or a mechanical rod lock.
