About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90
The SC100X90 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 90 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide robust, controlled end-of-stroke deceleration for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model uses PT1/2 ports and standard TPU seals for operation in ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. With a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length is approximately 278 mm, making it a compact choice for pressing, clamping, and material-handling stations where a short stroke is needed.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90 Is Used
Pneumatic Press
Generates up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for short-stroke pressing, staking, or assembly operations where a compact 90 mm stroke is sufficient.
Part Stops & Gates
Acts as a heavy-duty stop or diverter gate on conveyor lines, using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa to halt or redirect pallets and totes.
Clamping Fixtures
Provides strong, repeatable clamping in machining and welding fixtures, with the adjustable cushion reducing impact and vibration at the end of each cycle.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X90 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X90 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard shop air. If you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure. Always match replacement cylinders on all five key points: 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a magnet.
For strokes of 300 mm or longer, side-loading and rod-bearing bending become critical design factors, but at 90 mm this cylinder operates well within its standard guidance envelope. If your load applies a lateral force, consider an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seals.
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 SC100X90 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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, provided the original is also an AirTAC SC series (or equivalent tie-rod design) with a 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, basic mounting, and no magnet. The SC is not an ISO 15552 cylinder and is shorter in overall length, so it will not drop into an ISO 15552 footprint.
