About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CB
The SC100X175CB is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, it uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 ports, making it a strong choice for medium-stroke clamping and pressing tasks.
This model is configured with a CB rear double clevis mount (fork style, accessory F-SC100CB), allowing the cylinder body to pivot on a rear pin. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, and the standard TPU seals cover a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CB Is Used
Agricultural Implement Actuation
Operates heavy pivot arms and linkages on tillage or harvesting equipment. The rear double clevis mount handles misalignment, and the 3927 N force moves robust mechanisms reliably.
Conveyor Diverter Gates
Pivots a diverter gate on a rear pin to sort packages or bulk material. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact as the gate reaches each end position, extending service life.
Heavy Press-Fit Assembly
Provides 7068 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings or bushings into housings. The tie-rod construction ensures rigidity under high axial loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X175CB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard plant pressure. If you can accept a smaller envelope, the SC80 bore generates 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for significantly higher force, step up to the SC125 bore at 6136 N. This 175 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, CB rear double clevis mounting, and the non-magnetic piston (no -S suffix). 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 SC100X175CB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, 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 SC100X175CB is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
