About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170STC
The AirTAC SC100X170STC is a double-acting single-rod pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 170 mm stroke suits medium-reach clamping and lifting tasks, while the 25 mm diameter rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide smooth deceleration at end-of-stroke.
This model ships with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix, bracket F-SC100TC supplied with TCM1) that allows the cylinder to pivot during operation. Standard PT ports and TPU seals handle filtered air from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170STC Is Used
Pallet & Case Handling
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily lifts and transfers loaded pallets or cases in logistics hubs, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to swing freely.
Automated Welding Fixtures
Clamp heavy weldments with confidence. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm clamp position before the robot arc starts, improving cycle safety.
Pivoting Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount is ideal for chute or conveyor diverter gates. The adjustable cushion absorbs the impact of the gate reaching its end position, reducing noise and wear.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X170STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 3927 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you can step down to a 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa), the SC80 saves space; for heavier loads the SC125 provides 6136 N. For this 170 mm stroke, side-loading is generally not a concern, but always align the rod axially to avoid premature bearing wear.
To replace an existing cylinder, match all five points: 100 mm bore, 170 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC100TC bracket, and the built-in magnet for sensor compatibility. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X170STC 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 theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100 is a standard double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if supply pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. If you need to hold a load or position without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
