About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X86
The SC100X86 is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with an 86 mm stroke. It generates a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy linear actuation tasks.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 thread and PT1/2 ports. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 274 mm. Its adjustable air cushion, with a 29 mm cushion length, decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends to reduce impact and noise.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X86 Is Used
Material Transfer
Pushes or diverts packages and components on conveyor lines with 3927 N of force, handling medium-weight items reliably in distribution and assembly centers.
Clamping & Pressing
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding workpieces during machining, welding, or bonding operations in metalworking and woodworking.
Automated Assembly
Performs short-stroke insertion, forming, or riveting tasks in automated cells where a compact tie-rod cylinder with adjustable end-of-stroke cushioning is needed.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X86 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs a push force around 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If you require less force, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at the same pressure; for significantly higher force demands, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N. Always match the replacement cylinder across five points: bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory, and magnet option.
For this 86 mm stroke, side loading is typically not a primary concern, but any off-axis force should still be managed. Ensure the load is guided externally if there is any radial component, as tie-rod cylinders are designed for axial push/pull forces and the rod bearing is not intended to support substantial side loads.
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 SC100X86 FAQ
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, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 mounts. It is a direct replacement for another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with the same bore, stroke, PT port thread, and basic mounting configuration.
