The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X850 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 850mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X850 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 850 mm stroke and a robust 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model suits long linear movements in clamping, pressing, and material transfer stations.
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a body length A of 188 mm and an extended length of approximately 1038 mm. It uses PT1/2 ports and M20x1.5 rod threads, with an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 C.

Provides the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to raise and transfer pallets or heavy totes over an 850 mm vertical stroke in logistics hubs.
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large weldments or engine blocks during machining, with adjustable cushioning to reduce cycle shock.
The 850 mm stroke moves heavy components across wide conveyor sections or into paint booths, maintaining consistent thrust with filtered compressed air.
For applications needing slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore steps up to 6136 N. When replacing an existing cylinder, match the 100 mm bore, 850 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm if a magnet is needed for sensors.
At this 850 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads or high-speed cycling. Always align the load axially with the rod; if side forces are unavoidable, install an external linear guide or switch to a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and piston seals from premature wear.
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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Ensure the load is guided externally and force is applied purely axially. For side loads, use an external linear rail or a guided cylinder. The SC100X850 does not include a mechanical lock; if position holding is required when air is off, add a pilot-operated check valve or external rod brake.
