About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X220CA
The AirTAC SC100X220CA is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 220 mm stroke, configured with a rear single clevis (CA) for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N pushing force and 3681 N pulling force, rising to 7068 N push at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. The 25 mm diameter piston rod has an M20x1.5 thread and the body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 408 mm.
This model uses the standard PT1/2 port thread and TPU seals for a -20 to +70 °C operating range. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end of stroke. The CA clevis mount (order code F-SC100CA) allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, ideal for linkages and articulated mechanisms where rigid mounting is not possible.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X220CA Is Used
Agricultural Equipment Linkages
The 3927 N push force and rear clevis mount suit pivoting linkages on harvesters, planters, and tillage implements where the cylinder must swing through an arc during actuation.
Clamping & Fixturing Stations
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for heavy workpiece clamping. The CA clevis allows the cylinder body to pivot as the clamp arm engages, ensuring even pressure distribution.
Diverter Gates & Chutes
The 220 mm stroke and pivoting clevis mount operate material diverter gates in bulk handling. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact when the gate reaches its end position, reducing wear.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X220CA the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application needs around 4000 N of force at typical shop air pressure. If you need more force, step up to the SC125 which delivers 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you can accept less, the SC80 provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For this 220 mm stroke, rod bearing side-load is moderate, but always align the load axially with the rod or use an external guide if any lateral force is present.
To replace an existing SC100X220CA, match five points: 100 mm bore, 220 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the CA rear single clevis mounting (F-SC100CA), and confirm whether a magnet (-S suffix) is needed for sensors. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinders of the same configuration.
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 SC100X220CA FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the SC100 bore produces 5497 N pushing force (extending) and 3681 N pulling force (retracting). At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
The CA suffix means this cylinder is supplied with a rear single clevis (part code F-SC100CA) designed for pivoting mounting. If you need rigid surface mounting, order the basic version (no mounting suffix) or the LB foot mount. The clevis can be removed, but the cylinder body does not include integral mounting holes for fixed mounting without an accessory.
