The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X950SCB is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 950mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The SC100X950SCB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 950 mm stroke suit demanding linear applications requiring substantial thrust 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 installation. The 25 mm diameter rod provides high column strength, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, with PT1/2 ports.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and 950 mm stroke provide the power and reach needed for lifting and transferring heavy pallets in automated storage and retrieval systems.
Ideal for large-scale jigs and fixtures, this cylinder applies a controlled 7068 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa to secure heavy workpieces during machining or welding.
With a long 950 mm stroke, it can push large, heavy products completely off a main conveyor line onto a branch, handling substantial weight without stalling.
For higher force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC80 bore offers 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. This 950 mm stroke is within the standard 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore.
At this long stroke, side loads must be carefully managed to prevent rod bending or bearing wear. Use an external guide system or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 950 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, CB rear double clevis mounting (F-SC100CB), and the built-in -S magnet for sensor compatibility.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force is 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. The pull force on the return stroke is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, due to the area of the 25 mm rod.
Yes, it is a direct replacement for any AirTAC SC100X950 cylinder configured with a built-in magnet (-S), a rear double clevis mount (CB), TPU seals, and PT ports. It is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
