About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SN
The AirTAC SC100X800SN delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This double-acting cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate heavy loads smoothly. The 800 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
This model is configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke or mid-stroke position sensing without external brackets. The NBR (nitrile) seals (-N suffix) provide reliable sealing for standard industrial air, and the PT port thread ensures compatibility with common pneumatic fittings. It is a genuine AirTAC tie-rod cylinder, engineered for robust, high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SN Is Used
Pallet Transfer Systems
Provides the high force needed to push heavy pallets or bins across roller conveyors in automated logistics hubs, with sensor feedback confirming each transfer cycle.
Heavy Component Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force for securing large weldments or castings during machining or robotic assembly, with NBR seals handling oily workshop air.
Baler and Compactor Ejection
Powers the ejection ram in recycling balers, using its long 800 mm stroke to clear compacted material bales. The magnetic piston allows sensors to verify full retraction and extension.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X800SN the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the SC100X800SN means choosing a high-force actuator for demanding linear tasks. If your load requires less force, consider stepping down to the 80 mm bore, which provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For even greater thrust, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N at the same pressure. For this 800 mm stroke, ensure the rod is adequately supported against side loads; an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended if the load is not perfectly axial to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 800 mm stroke, PT port thread, the NBR seal material, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X800SN 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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X800SN is a standard double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston can drift or drop. For load-holding safety, you must add an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
