About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860
The SC100X860 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With an 860 mm stroke, this model provides a long linear reach within the standard stroke range for the 100 mm bore, making it suitable for material transfer and lifting applications that require significant force over an extended distance.
This genuine AirTAC actuator features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and a PT1/2 pneumatic port. The total extended body length is approximately 1048 mm, including the 188 mm base body length. An adjustable air cushion of 29 mm at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, protecting the end caps during high-cycle operation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860 Is Used
Pallet & Container Lifting
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 860 mm stroke handle lifting and lowering of heavy pallets or containers in logistics hubs, providing the long travel needed for deep reach.
Long-Reach Part Transfer
Moves heavy workpieces between distant conveyor lines or machining stations. The adjustable cushion ensures quiet, low-impact stops even with high inertial loads at full extension.
Heavy Press Feed & Ejection
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to push large stampings or castings out of forming dies, where the extended stroke clears the tooling area completely for safe part removal.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X860 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X860 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If the load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces the force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and saves air consumption. For heavier loads, a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. Because the 860 mm stroke extends the rod significantly, avoid direct side loads on the rod end; use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent bending moments on the rod bearing.
For a direct replacement, match five key specifications: 100 mm bore, 860 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the specific mounting accessory (this basic model has no bracket), and the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet). This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design and is dimensionally shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it is not a drop-in substitute for that standard.
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 SC100X860 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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X860 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. To hold a load or maintain position without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical brake.
