About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X700CA
The SC100X700CA is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 700 mm stroke, fitted with a rear single clevis (CA) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa air pressure it generates 3927 N of push force and 3681 N on the pull stroke, rising to a substantial 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa.
This model uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod with an M20x1.5 male thread and PT1/2 port connections. The 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly, while the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C. The clevis bracket, orderable as F-SC100CA, allows the cylinder body to pivot during operation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X700CA Is Used
Heavy Gate or Damper Actuation
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and rear clevis mount make this cylinder ideal for pivoting heavy hopper gates, diverter flaps, or ventilation dampers in agricultural processing and bulk material handling.
Pallet Stop and Lift Stations
With a 700 mm stroke and robust 25 mm rod, the SC100X700CA raises or stops heavy pallets on conveyor lines. The clevis mount accommodates the arcing motion of a scissor-lift or rocker-arm mechanism.
Press-Frame Ejection
Delivering up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder ejects large formed parts from stamping or compression moulds. The adjustable cushion protects tooling by softening the end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X700CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard shop air; for lighter loads around 2500 N the SC80 bore saves space and air consumption, while the SC125 delivers over 6100 N for heavier pressing or clamping. The 700 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm standard maximum for this bore. For strokes of this length, avoid side loading the unsupported rod—fit an external guide rail or rod-alignment coupler to prevent bending stress on the rod bearing and seal.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, rear single clevis mounting (F-SC100CA), and confirm whether the original had a magnet. This SC100X700CA has no built-in magnet, so it is not directly compatible with barrel-mounted reed sensors unless you add external limit switches.
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 SC100X700CA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the cylinder pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa push force is 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. This model code does not include the -S suffix, so the piston does not carry a magnet. To use barrel-mounted reed or solid-state sensors (CMSG/DMSG/EMSG), order the SC100X700CA-S variant. Without the magnet, you must use external limit switches or a linear transducer for position feedback.
