About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SCB
The AirTAC SC100X960SCB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force when operated at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to a powerful 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This model features a 100 mm bore with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 960 mm stroke, well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore size. The built-in magnet allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise position feedback, while the rear double clevis (CB) mount provides a pivoting connection at the cap end.
The cylinder body has a length A of 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 1148 mm. It uses PT1/2 port threads and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with an adjustable pneumatic cushion of 29 mm at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly. The standard TPU seals provide an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C, making this genuine AirTAC actuator a robust choice for demanding linear motion tasks.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SCB Is Used
Material Handling Pusher
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa makes it ideal for diverting or pushing heavy packages and pallets on conveyor lines, with the long 960 mm stroke providing ample reach across wide belts.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Used in large welding or assembly fixtures, the rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to pivot, applying up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa to secure heavy workpieces.
Dock Leveler Actuation
Provides the high force and long stroke needed to raise and position heavy loading dock levelers. The magnetic piston enables end-of-stroke sensing for automated control systems.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X960SCB the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a force between the 2513 N of the SC80 and the 6136 N of the larger SC125 at 0.5 MPa. The 960 mm stroke is a long unsupported extension; carefully evaluate side loads, as a 25 mm rod at this length is susceptible to bending under lateral force. For applications with significant side loading or high guidance requirements, consider pairing this cylinder with an external linear guide or switching to a guided cylinder unit.
For a direct replacement, ensure the new cylinder matches this model's 100 mm bore, 960 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, rear CB double clevis mounting (F-SC100CB), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC100X960SCB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 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 than the ISO 15552 standard. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a direct replacement, you must match the SC series with the same bore, stroke, port type, and mounting accessory, specifically the rear double clevis (CB) mount for this model.
