About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X580
The SC100X580 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm air cushion provide robust linear actuation for mid-to-heavy industrial tasks requiring a 580 mm stroke.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 188 mm body length, PT1/2 ports, and an M20x1.5 rod thread. Operating on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it uses adjustable cushioning to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, reducing impact and noise.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X580 Is Used
Pallet Transfer
Moves heavy pallets across conveyor junctions. The 580 mm stroke and 3927 N push force reliably shift fully loaded pallets in distribution centers.
Press-Fit Assembly
Provides the controlled, high-force linear motion needed for pressing bearings or bushings into housings, with adjustable cushioning to protect parts at end-of-stroke.
Baler Compression
Actuates the compression plate in small-to-medium recycling balers, delivering the sustained force required to compact cardboard or plastic waste.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X580 the Right Cylinder?
For a 100 mm bore, the SC100X580 provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load requires more force, stepping up to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is recommended. For a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 delivers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. At a 580 mm stroke, ensure the rod is protected from side loads; an external guide or guided cylinder is strongly advised to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 580 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no mounting accessory), and no built-in magnet. This ensures a direct dimensional and performance swap with another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod unit.
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 SC100X580 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.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting.
