About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980SCB
The SC100X980SCB is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a long 980 mm stroke, this model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate high-inertia loads smoothly.
This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a rear double clevis mount (CB, part F-SC100CB) for pivoting applications. The tie-rod construction makes it a robust choice for heavy-duty industrial tasks where a shorter overall length than an ISO 15552 cylinder is acceptable.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980SCB Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Rejection
The 980 mm stroke and high force push defective or oversized packages off a high-speed conveyor line, with the rear clevis mount allowing the cylinder to pivot as the reject arm arcs.
Heavy-Duty Clamping & Riveting
Delivers up to 7068 N of force for pressing, clinching, or riveting large automotive body panels in a welding jig, where the magnetic sensors confirm full extension and retraction.
Log Splitter or Compactor Gate
Controls a heavy gate or pushes a splitting wedge in agricultural machinery, leveraging the robust tie-rod design and rear clevis pivot to handle misalignment and high thrust loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X980SCB the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, consider stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa), or move up to a 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load demands a higher safety margin. The 980 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for a 100 mm bore, but this long extension requires careful management of side loads to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear; always use an external guide or ensure the load is perfectly axial.
To ensure a correct drop-in replacement, match five key points: the 100 mm bore, the 980 mm stroke, the PT port thread, the rear double clevis mounting accessory (CB), and the presence of the built-in magnet (-S) 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 SC100X980SCB FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. As a standard double-acting cylinder, the SC100X980SCB will drift or drop if pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of its stroke; it is not a locking or holding device. To hold a load safely without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
