About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CB
The SC100X100CB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 100 mm bore. With a 100 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for short, powerful linear moves in compact machine envelopes.
This unit is configured with a CB rear double clevis (fork) mount, allowing the cylinder to pivot freely at the cap end. The mounting accessory code is F-SC100CB. Standard PT1/2 ports and TPU seals (-20 to +70 °C) complete the build. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke end.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CB Is Used
Tipping & Dumping Mechanisms
The rear double clevis mount lets the cylinder pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating hopper gates, dump bodies, and tilt tables on agricultural or construction equipment.
Clamping & Pressing
With 7068 N of force available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder suits heavy-duty clamping fixtures, punch-press strippers, and assembly presses where a short, powerful stroke is required.
Diverter Gates
Use the SC100X100CB to pivot diverter flaps or chute gates in material handling lines. The clevis mount absorbs misalignment and the 100 mm stroke provides a crisp, fast actuation cycle.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100CB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of push at standard plant pressure. If you can work with about 2500 N, stepping down to an 80 mm bore saves space and air consumption. For strokes of 300 mm or more, evaluate side-load conditions: a 25 mm rod under high side load may require an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod bearing and seal.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, CB rear double clevis mounting, and confirm whether a magnet (-S) is needed for sensors. This model has no built-in magnet.
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 SC100X100CB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
The CB suffix means this cylinder is supplied with a rear double clevis (fork) for pivoting mounting. If you need a rigid, surface-mounted installation, order the basic version (no mounting code) with LB foot mounts, or choose an FA/FB flange variant instead.
