About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300CA
The SC100X300CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), built for heavy linear actuation tasks. Its 100 mm bore houses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with PT1/2 ports, and the 300 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
This model comes configured with a rear single clevis (CA) mount, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation and simplifying installation in articulated linkages. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting the end caps from impact. As a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, it is factory-tested to 1.5 MPa proof pressure.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300CA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides ample clamping pressure for heavy weld fixtures and machining jigs, with the rear clevis allowing the cylinder to swing clear for part loading.
Agricultural Implement Control
Controls chute deflectors or hopper gates on harvesters and spreaders. The pivoting CA mount absorbs misalignment on equipment that flexes during field operation.
Diverter Gate Actuation
Drives heavy diverter gates in bulk material handling conveyors. The 7068 N force at 0.9 MPa shifts dense material flows reliably, while the 29 mm cushion softens the gate impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3900-4000 N of force at standard shop air. If you can accept a smaller envelope and lower force, stepping down to an SC80 bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For higher force requirements, the SC125 bore provides 6136 N at the same pressure.
At a 300 mm stroke, the 25 mm rod is robust for axial loads, but any significant side loading requires an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent rod bearing wear and bending. To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, the CA rear clevis mount (F-SC100CA), and the absence of a magnet. This SC is a tie-rod design 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 SC100X300CA 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 reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100 is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
