About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60CA
The SC100X60CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). With a 100 mm bore and a compact 60 mm stroke, it is built for short, powerful linear actuation where a pivoting rear mount is required.
This model features a rear single clevis (CA) mounting, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation to accommodate angular misalignment. The 25 mm diameter chrome-plated rod and adjustable air cushion at both ends provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 ports supply ample flow for rapid cycling.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60CA Is Used
Clamping & Fixturing
The 60 mm stroke and high force output make this cylinder ideal for heavy-duty workpiece clamping in machining centers, where the rear clevis mount allows the cylinder to self-align as the clamp engages.
Agricultural Implement Control
With 3927 N of push force at standard shop air, the SC100X60CA can actuate chute gates, diverter flaps, or linkage mechanisms on agricultural equipment, with the clevis mount absorbing frame flex.
Die Cushion Actuation
Short-stroke, high-force actuation suits die cushion pins or stripper plates in metal forming presses, where the pivoting CA mount ensures the rod stays aligned under off-center loads.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X60CA the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force, step up to the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). If less force is acceptable and space is tight, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. The CA rear clevis mount (part F-SC100CA) is ideal for pivoting applications where the cylinder body must swing.
To ensure a correct replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, rear single clevis (CA) mounting, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder; it 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 SC100X60CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa supply pressure, the cylinder pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 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 SC100X60CA 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, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
