The AirTAC Airtac SC Standard Cylinders SC63X100 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC63X100 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 63 mm bore and a compact 100 mm stroke, sized for short, punchy linear moves. At 0.5 MPa it develops about 1559 N on extension and 1402 N on retraction, rising to 2805 N at the 0.9 MPa peak operating pressure. The piston rod is 20 mm in diameter with an M16x1.5 male thread, giving a solid rod for this force class.
With a body length A of 153 mm, the fully extended length is roughly 253 mm, so the SC63X100 fits where a full ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be too long. Ports are PT1/4, cushions are adjustable over 28 mm to soften end-of-stroke impact, and the TPU seal set works from -20 to +70 C on air filtered to 40 um.

The 1559 N extension force at 0.5 MPa is well suited to clamping jigs and workholding fixtures where the 100 mm stroke covers the load-and-clamp sequence in one move.
Short-stroke pushers on packaging and conveyor lines use the SC63X100 to kick products off a belt, with the 28 mm adjustable cushion stopping the piston quietly at speed.
Small bench-top pressing, riveting and forming tasks benefit from the 2182 N available at 0.7 MPa, delivered by a cylinder that extends only about 253 mm overall.
At 100 mm stroke this cylinder sits in the mid-force band: step down to a 50 mm bore (982 N at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter and space is tight, or up to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) if you need roughly 60% more push. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa and speed is 30-800 mm/s.
When replacing an existing unit, match all five points: 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, mounting accessory (this code is basic, so no bracket is included) and magnet option (none here, so position switches cannot be fitted). If your machine needs sensing later, order the -S version instead.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore gives 1559 N extending and 1402 N retracting. At the normal 0.7 MPa working pressure expect 2182 N, and up to 2805 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum. The theoretical maximum is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Remember the cylinder will not hold this load if air pressure is lost - it drifts, so add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical lock where hold-on-failure is required.
Match five things: 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, the mounting style (this version is basic with no bracket - foot, flange, clevis and trunnion accessories are separate F-SC63 parts) and the magnet option (absent here). The SC is a shorter tie-rod cylinder, not ISO 15552 dimensionally interchangeable, so it directly replaces another AirTAC SC or equivalent tie-rod cylinder of the same specification.
