About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SCB
The AirTAC SC100X900SCB is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore, 25 mm rod, and a 900 mm stroke, it is built for demanding linear applications requiring high force over a long travel distance.
This model features a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a rear double clevis (CB) mount for pivoting applications. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm) decelerates the piston smoothly, while the PT1/2 port and M20x1.5 rod thread ensure reliable pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SCB Is Used
Pallet Lifting & Transfer
Provides the high force and long stroke needed to lift and transfer heavy pallets in automated storage and retrieval systems.
Heavy Part Clamping
Clamps large fabrications or castings in machining centres, using the 7068 N force at 0.9 MPa for secure, vibration-resistant holding.
Conveyor Diverting Gates
Actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, with the CB clevis mount allowing the cylinder to pivot freely during operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X900SCB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application needs around 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure. For lighter loads, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force requirements, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At a 900 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally to prevent side-load bending on the 25 mm rod. For replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, PT thread, CB rear double clevis mount (F-SC100CB), and the -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
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 SC100X900SCB 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 at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
