About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150CA
The SC100X150CA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 150 mm stroke and M20x1.5 rod thread suit medium-reach linear tasks where the cylinder body needs to pivot from a fixed rear anchor point.
This model is factory-fitted with a rear single clevis (CA mount, accessory F-SC100CA), allowing the actuator to swing during operation without side-loading the rod. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, making it a reliable choice for pivoting linkages and articulating machine elements.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150CA Is Used
Pivoting Clamp Actuation
The CA rear clevis lets the SC100X150CA swing freely as it extends, making it ideal for toggle clamps and linkage-driven fixtures in welding or assembly jigs.
Hopper Gate Control
With 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder reliably opens and closes slide gates on agricultural hoppers and silos, where a pivoting mount simplifies alignment.
Diverter Gate Operation
The 150 mm stroke provides sufficient travel for material diverter flaps on conveyor lines. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact as the gate reaches its end position.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when 3927 N at 0.5 MPa covers your dynamic load with a margin. For a lighter frame, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure; if you need more force, the SC125 delivers 6136 N. The CA rear clevis mount suits applications where the cylinder must pivot from the cap end—ensure the mating pin is sized for the full thrust.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, rear single clevis mounting (CA), and no magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.
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 SC100X150CA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC100 bore generates 5497 N of push force. The pull force at the same pressure is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod area.
Yes, provided your existing cylinder is an AirTAC SC100X150 with a rear single clevis mount. The SC is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it will not drop into an ISO 15552 footprint. Verify that the bore, stroke, PT port, and clevis mounting match your current setup.
