About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170
The AirTAC SC100X170 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 170 mm stroke suit medium-travel clamping, pressing, and material-handling tasks that need substantial force in a compact footprint.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads and PT1/2 ports. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke shock. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 358 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170 Is Used
Pallet Stop & Lift Gates
Provides the 3900+ N push needed to raise or stop heavy pallets on gravity and powered roller conveyors without slowing line speed.
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for CNC fixture clamping, welding jigs, and assembly presses where rigid part holding is critical.
Waste Compaction
Generates the sustained force required for small balers and compactors, cycling reliably in dusty environments with filtered air.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X170 when your load requires roughly 3900–4000 N at standard plant pressure. If you can accept a smaller envelope, stepping down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may work; for higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Always match replacement cylinders on five points: 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, basic mounting (no bracket), and no magnet.
For strokes above 300 mm, consider an external guide or a guided cylinder to protect the rod from side-load bending. At 170 mm the rod is well-supported, but any off-axis load should still be minimised.
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 SC100X170 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical 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 maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so dimensions and mounting interfaces are not interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 cylinder with matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
