About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700S
The AirTAC SC100X1700S is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and an extended 1700 mm non-standard stroke, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix), allowing CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors to mount directly on the tie-rod barrel for reliable end-of-stroke detection without external brackets.
With a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port threads, the SC100X1700S provides a maximum theoretical thrust of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce impact, while the TPU/NBR seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C. At this stroke length, an external guide or guided cylinder configuration is strongly recommended to protect the rod from bending under side loads.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700S Is Used
Long-Reach Material Pusher
The 1700 mm stroke and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa make this cylinder ideal for pushing heavy pallets or large cartons across wide conveyor transfer stations where a long linear reach is required.
Automated Gantry Tool Actuation
With a built-in magnet for sensor feedback, this cylinder suits the Z-axis or horizontal tool actuator on a gantry system, providing precise end-of-stroke confirmation for a heavy tool head over a long travel distance.
Heavy-Gauge Part Ejection
Delivers the long travel needed to fully eject large, heavy stamped or molded parts from a wide-bed press or die-casting machine, with the adjustable cushion softening the impact at the end of the 1700 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1700S the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at standard plant air pressure. 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, the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up. This 1700 mm stroke exceeds the standard 1500 mm maximum for the 100 mm bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order length.
For any stroke over 300 mm, especially with a 25 mm rod, side loading becomes a critical design factor. An unsupported long rod can bend or damage the bearing and seals. Use an external linear guide, rod support, or a guided cylinder to absorb transverse forces. When replacing this cylinder, match all five key points: 100 mm bore, 1700 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the built-in magnet (-S), and the basic (no bracket) mounting style.
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 SC100X1700S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 3927 N. At 0.7 MPa it increases to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. Always calculate force based on your specific working pressure.
Yes, it is strongly recommended. A 1700 mm stroke with a 25 mm diameter rod creates a significant moment arm for side loads. Without an external linear guide or rod support, any off-axis force can cause the rod to bend, leading to premature bearing wear, seal failure, and rod damage.
