About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CA
The SC100X100CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 100 mm standard stroke, this model is configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation for applications with angular movement.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread, PT1/2 port connections, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end for smooth deceleration. The total body length (dimension A) is 188 mm, and the standard TPU seals provide an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. The mounting accessory is part code F-SC100CA.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CA Is Used
Clamping & Stamping Presses
Provides the high force (up to 7068 N) needed for pneumatic clamping, riveting, and light stamping operations where the cylinder must pivot to engage the workpiece.
Agricultural Machinery Linkages
The rear clevis mount allows this cylinder to actuate pivoting linkages on harvesters, spreaders, and tillage equipment, handling dusty conditions with robust tie-rod construction.
Part Ejection & Diverter Gates
Drives pivoting diverter arms or ejector mechanisms on conveyor lines, using the adjustable cushion to manage the impact of the 100 mm stroke at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires a push force between 3927 N and 7068 N. For a lighter load, 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.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key specifications: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the rear single clevis (CA) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. The CA mount is ideal for pivoting applications, but ensure the load is guided to prevent side forces from acting on the piston rod.
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 SC100X100CA 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.
This model is a direct replacement for an AirTAC SC100X100CA tie-rod cylinder. For other brands, verify that the bore (100 mm), stroke (100 mm), port thread (PT1/2), pivot pin diameter for the CA clevis, and overall retracted length (188 mm body + stroke) all match your current setup.
