About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600
The AirTAC SC100X600 is a robust double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 600 mm stroke, it is built for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where a strong, reliable push is required. The piston rod measures 25 mm in diameter, and the body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 788 mm.
This model features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. Standard PT1/2 ports supply the filtered air, and the operating range spans 0.15-1.0 MPa. As a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, it provides a cost-effective, compact alternative to longer ISO 15552 cylinders while maintaining the serviceability of a classic tie-rod construction.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
Provides the high push force needed to stop and transfer heavy pallets on gravity or powered roller conveyors in distribution centers.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments, engine blocks, or structural frames during machining or assembly.
Waste Compactor Actuation
Drives the compression plate in small-to-medium waste compactors or baling machines, handling the sustained push force required for densifying materials.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X600 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X600 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard shop air pressure. If you need more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N. Ensure your directional valve and flow controls are sized for the PT1/2 ports to achieve the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
For this 600 mm stroke, carefully evaluate side loads. A long, unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral force, causing premature seal and bearing wear. If the load is not perfectly guided inline, use an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler. For a direct replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no built-in magnet.
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 SC100X600 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It will only directly interchange with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, port thread, and mounting configuration.
