About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170H
The SC100X170H is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, fitted with high-temperature Viton (FKM) seals that shift the operating range to 0–150 °C. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N push and 3681 N pull, rising to 7068 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure.
Its 25 mm piston rod carries an M20×1.5 thread and PT1/2 ports, with a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 358 mm. This genuine AirTAC SC cylinder suits hot-environment automation where standard polyurethane seals would degrade prematurely.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170H Is Used
High-Temperature Process Actuation
Viton seals enable reliable double-acting actuation in ovens, autoclaves, and drying tunnels where ambient temperatures reach 150 °C, well beyond the range of standard TPU seals.
Heavy Press & Clamping
With 7068 N of push force at 0.9 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder delivers the clamping or pressing power needed for hot-forming tools, heated platen presses, and thermal bonding fixtures.
Foundry & Glass Plant Automation
Rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C, the SC100X170H handles gate actuation, mould movement, and material handling in foundries, glass plants, and other radiant-heat environments.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170H the Right Cylinder?
For a step down in force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for more force, the 125 mm bore SC125 delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. When replacing an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting, and absence of a magnet—this model carries no built-in magnet.
At 170 mm stroke, side-load bending on the 25 mm rod is minimal in purely axial applications. If the load applies any lateral force, guide the rod externally or consider a guided-cylinder configuration to protect the rod bearing and seals from premature wear.
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 SC100X170H FAQ
At 0.7 MPa supply pressure, the SC100X170H produces 5497 N of push force on the piston and 3681 N of pull force on the retract stroke (the pull force is lower because the rod reduces the effective piston area on the return side).
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder; it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder or a compatible tie-rod design matching the 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, and basic mounting.
