About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X720
The AirTAC SC100X720 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and a 720 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust actuator for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke impact. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 908 mm. As a genuine AirTAC SC series cylinder, it is built for reliable industrial service with filtered air.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X720 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Transfer
Provides the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to reliably stop and transfer heavy pallets on conveyor lines, with the 720 mm stroke handling wide transfer distances.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large workpieces in welding fixtures or machining centres, with a long stroke for part loading clearance.
Bin Diverter Actuation
Ideal for actuating diverters in gravity chutes or sortation systems, using its 720 mm stroke and robust 25 mm rod to push product bins onto different lanes.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X720 the Right Cylinder?
The SC100X720 suits applications needing around 4000 N of force. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) for lower air consumption. For higher force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 720 mm stroke, ensure the rod is not subjected to significant side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. For direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and the absence of a 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 SC100X720 FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 increases to 7068 N.
For a stroke of 720 mm, it is strongly recommended to use an external guide or linear rail. The 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending and side-load damage on long unsupported strokes, which will drastically shorten seal and bearing life.
