The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X730N is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 730mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X730N is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure). With a 100 mm bore and 730 mm stroke, this model is built for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where NBR (nitrile) seals are preferred for their resilience in oily or general industrial air.
This cylinder 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 smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 918 mm. As a genuine AirTAC SC series unit, it provides a compact, non-ISO tie-rod design that is shorter than equivalent ISO 15552 cylinders.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily powers heavy pallet stops and transfers on conveyor lines, providing robust, repeatable motion for logistics and packaging systems.
With up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this 100mm bore cylinder is a strong candidate for pneumatic clamping, light pressing, and forming fixtures in metalworking and woodworking shops.
The 730mm stroke provides ample reach for feeding sheet material into processing machines or ejecting finished parts from multi-stage assembly cells, where NBR seals handle oily air reliably.
For applications needing more force, stepping up to the SC125 bore provides 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter, more compact cylinder is acceptable, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N at the same pressure. At 730 mm stroke, the rod is fully supported within the standard stroke limit (max 1500 mm for bore 100), but side-loading must be avoided; use an external linear guide or rod support for any off-axis forces to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 730 mm stroke, PT (Rc) port thread, basic mounting (no brackets), and the absence of a magnet. This NBR-sealed variant is ideal for environments where nitrile's oil resistance is beneficial.
Quick checklist
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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X730N is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift or the load will drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
