About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X688S
The AirTAC SC100X688S is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 688 mm stroke suit medium-to-long linear moves in clamping, pressing, and material-transfer stations. The built-in magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for contactless position feedback.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston at end-of-stroke to reduce impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving an approximate extended length of 876 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X688S Is Used
Automated Fixture Clamping
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa is ideal for pneumatic toggle clamps and weld fixtures. The 688 mm stroke provides deep reach into large assemblies, with sensor feedback confirming clamp engagement.
Pallet Stop & Lift Gate
Deploy the SC100X688S as a heavy-duty pallet stop on conveyor lines. The 25 mm rod handles impact loads, while the built-in magnet signals the raised/lowered position to the line controller.
Baler & Compactor Ejection
With 7068 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder ejects compacted material from balers or large waste compactors. The adjustable cushion softens the piston's return stroke under high inertial loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X688S the Right Cylinder?
The SC100 provides 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs more force, step up to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, faster actuator, the SC80 offers 2513 N. At 688 mm stroke, the rod is extended significantly—evaluate side loads carefully. An external linear guide or self-guided tooling is recommended to protect the rod bearing from bending moments.
For a drop-in replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 688 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, the built-in magnet (-S suffix), and the basic (no bracket) mounting style. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC100X688S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. 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 SC100X688S is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston—it is not a locking device. For load holding, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
