About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X63
The SC100X63 is a compact-stroke member of the AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder family, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 63 mm stroke suits short linear pushes, clamping, and ejector duties where space is tight but high force is non-negotiable.
Built with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, this double-acting cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston quietly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 251 mm — a compact footprint for a 100 mm bore actuator.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X63 Is Used
Heavy Clamping & Pressing
Short 63 mm stroke with 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa makes the SC100X63 ideal for pneumatic toggle clamps, bearing presses, and assembly fixtures that demand high holding force in a limited travel envelope.
Product Stops & Diverters
Deploy this cylinder as a robust end-stop or diverter gate on pallet conveyors. The 25 mm rod resists impact, and the adjustable cushion softens the stop action to protect conveyed items.
Die-Casting Ejectors
The rapid 63 mm punch stroke and 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa suit ejector plate actuation in die-casting and injection-molding tools, where a short, forceful linear motion is needed cycle after cycle.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X63 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N at standard plant air; if 2500 N is sufficient, stepping down to the SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces weight and air consumption. For strokes above 150 mm in this bore, verify that the rod is adequately supported against side loads — an external guide or a guided-cylinder configuration prevents rod-bearing bending.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 63 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and confirm whether a magnet is required. The SC is a tie-rod design, not an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same stroke and port type.
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 SC100X63 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 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 SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. It is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Replace only with another AirTAC SC100 of matching stroke, port thread, and mounting.
