About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X796
The AirTAC SC100X796 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 796 mm stroke is a non-standard length, made to order for applications needing extended linear reach beyond the standard 1500 mm maximum catalogue range for this bore.
Built with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and M20x1.5 rod thread, the SC100X796 includes a 29 mm adjustable air cushion to decelerate end-of-stroke travel. The PT1/2 port supplies filtered air, and the body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 984 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X796 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
Pushes or pulls heavy totes and pallets across wide conveyor gaps where a standard-stroke cylinder falls short, using the full 796 mm travel.
Large Panel Pressing
Applies 3927 N at 0.5 MPa to laminate or form large composite panels, with the extended stroke clearing the workpiece for easy loading and unloading.
Grain Chute Actuation
Operates a high-capacity diverter chute on a grain handling line, leveraging the long stroke to fully open or close the flow path.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X796 the Right Cylinder?
For a 100 mm bore, the SC100X796 provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and cost. For heavier loads, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure.
At 796 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant. Side loads or off-centre mounting can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. Use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder if lateral forces are present. For direct replacement, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and confirm the magnet option is not fitted.
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 SC100X796 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 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 SC100X796 is a tie-rod cylinder designed for axial push/pull only. For a 796 mm stroke, any side load will bend the 25 mm rod. You must install an external linear guide to absorb lateral forces, or switch to a guided cylinder assembly.
