About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700
The AirTAC SC100X1700 is a double-acting, tie-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for applications demanding an exceptionally long 1700 mm stroke from a 100 mm bore. This model generates a substantial 3927 N of push force at a standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, scaling up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, making it suitable for heavy linear transfer tasks.
As a non-standard stroke length exceeding the standard 1500 mm maximum for the SC100 series, this unit is built to order. The cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 male threads, PT1/2 pneumatic ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the high inertial loads typical of such a long stroke. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1888 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700 Is Used
Long-Reach Material Transfer
Provides the extended 1700 mm linear stroke needed to push or pull heavy pallets and components across wide conveyor gaps or into deep machinery stations.
Heavy Gantry Positioning
Delivers 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa for positioning heavy welding heads or cutting torches on large-format gantry systems, where a long, controlled stroke is critical.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Used in large-scale farming machinery for tasks like opening hopper doors or adjusting wide tillage implements, leveraging its high force output and long reach.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700 the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application requires force in the 3927 N (at 0.5 MPa) class. For a step down in force and physical size, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N of push force at the same pressure. For strokes of 1700 mm, the long, 25 mm diameter rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; always use an external linear guide or rod support to prevent rod bearing damage and ensure straight-line motion. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 1700 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and the absence of a 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 SC100X1700 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N, and the pull force on the retract stroke is 3681 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N push.
No, the maximum standard stroke for a 100 mm bore SC cylinder is 1500 mm. The SC100X1700 is a non-standard, made-to-order stroke length. For strokes this long, external guidance is strongly recommended to protect the rod bearing from side-load wear.
