About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CA
The SC100X175CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, this model is equipped with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing it to pivot during operation, which is ideal for applications where the cylinder body needs to swing through an arc.
This tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 port threads, and an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at the end of each stroke. The body length A is 188 mm, making the total extended length approximately 363 mm. Its standard operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CA Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Provides up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for securing large workpieces in CNC machining or welding fixtures, where a pivoting cylinder body is needed for loading clearance.
Part Diverter Gates
The rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to swing as it actuates a diverter gate on a conveyor line, sorting heavy packages or pallets with a robust 3927 N push at standard shop air pressure.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Controls the angle of a large chute or hopper door on a harvester or spreader. The clevis mount accommodates the arcing motion, and the 25 mm rod withstands harsh, dusty conditions.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application requires between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If your force requirement is slightly lower, consider stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa). For a higher force, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA clevis mount (F-SC100CA) is specifically for pivoting applications; ensure the load is guided to prevent side forces from being transmitted to the rod bearing.
For a drop-in replacement, match these five critical points: a 100 mm bore, a 175 mm stroke, a PT1/2 port thread, a rear single clevis (CA) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This cylinder is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles.
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 SC100X175CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X175CA is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The piston will drift or the load will drop. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve in the circuit.
