About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X788
The AirTAC SC100X788 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). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion are designed for reliable mid-to-heavy industrial linear tasks requiring a stroke just under 800 mm.
With a body length A of 188 mm and an extended length of 976 mm, this model fits installations where a compact retracted footprint is beneficial. The standard PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod thread ensure straightforward pneumatic connections for genuine AirTAC performance.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X788 Is Used
Pallet Handling
Provides the 3927 N push force needed to transfer heavy pallets or loaded totes across roller conveyors in distribution centres.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers a controlled 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or dowels into heavy castings on an assembly line.
Baler Compaction
Actuates the compaction plate in small-to-medium recycling balers, using its high force and 788 mm stroke to compress cardboard or plastics.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X788 the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. If a higher force is required, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. At a 788 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and side forces are minimal; an unsupported 25 mm rod at this extension can be vulnerable to bending under lateral loads. For direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 788 mm stroke, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
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 SC100X788 FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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.
No, the SC100X788 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or the load may drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod lock, brake, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
