About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60
The AirTAC SC100X60 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 60 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making it a stock-configuration actuator for short, high-force linear moves.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 port connections. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting end caps during high-cycle operation. Body length A is 188 mm, giving a compact total extended length of approximately 248 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60 Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
Short-stroke, high-force clamping fixtures in woodworking or metal fabrication. The 60 mm stroke provides rapid clamp/unclamp action with 3927 N of holding force at standard line pressure.
Die Ejection
Punch press or stamping die knockout. The 100 mm bore generates the brief, intense push needed to eject parts or scrap, and the 29 mm cushion handles the shock of high-speed retraction.
Product Stops & Gates
Heavy-duty conveyor line diverters and pallet stops. The SC100X60 extends quickly to halt or redirect heavy totes, and its tie-rod construction allows easy maintenance in dusty environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push force at standard plant air pressure. If 2800 N is sufficient, stepping down to the SC63 bore (1559 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces air consumption and physical size. For higher force, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
For this 60 mm stroke, side loading is rarely a concern, but always align the rod with the load axis to prevent seal wear. When replacing, match five points: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mount (no accessory brackets), and confirm the magnet option (-S) is absent unless sensors are needed.
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 SC100X60 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SC100X60 produces 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X60 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
