About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X730
The AirTAC SC100X730 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force when operated at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 730 mm stroke, this model is built for heavy linear actuation tasks, featuring a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly.
This cylinder has a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with a body length A of 188 mm. The total extended length is approximately 918 mm. As a genuine AirTAC component, it is manufactured with a TPU/NBR seal package for a standard operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C and is designed for filtered air at 40 µm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X730 Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
Moves heavy pallets or skids laterally on a conveyor line, using the 730 mm stroke to shift loads between parallel roller beds with controlled force.
Industrial Press Feed
Pushes large sheet metal or composite blanks into a stamping press or forming machine, leveraging the high force output at 0.7-0.9 MPa to overcome material resistance.
Heavy-Duty Diverter Gate
Actuates a large diverter chute in bulk material handling, directing the flow of aggregates or grain with the robust 100 mm bore cylinder.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X730 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X730 when your application requires a force class around 4000 N at standard plant pressure. If a more compact solution with lower force is acceptable, consider stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa). For significantly higher force requirements, the 125 mm bore model provides 6136 N at the same pressure. For this 730 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if any side forces are present, as the unsupported 25 mm rod can be subject to bending moments over this extended length.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: a 100 mm bore, a 730 mm stroke, a PT1/2 port thread, a basic (no bracket) mounting configuration, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This ensures dimensional and functional interchangeability with an existing AirTAC SC series cylinder.
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 SC100X730 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X730 is a tie-rod cylinder and its rod bearing is not designed to support significant side loads, especially at a 730 mm extension. You must use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder to absorb bending moments and prevent premature seal and bearing failure.
