The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X83 is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 83mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X83 is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy industrial linear tasks. With an 83 mm stroke, it fits compact clamping, pressing, and ejector stations where space is tight but high force is non-negotiable.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod, PT1/2 pneumatic ports, and a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end to decelerate the load smoothly. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 271 mm. It is built with standard TPU/NBR seals for reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Generates up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to securely hold steel fabrications or castings during machining or welding, preventing workpiece shift.
The 83 mm stroke and high push force suit short-travel punch or stamping heads in light-gauge metal forming and riveting cells.
Drives a fast-acting diverter gate on a conveyor line, using the adjustable cushion to quiet the impact as the gate reaches its end stop.
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure; if you can accept a lighter frame and around 2500 N, the SC80 bore is a compact alternative. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always evaluate side-loading on the rod—long, unsupported strokes can bend the 25 mm rod, so consider an external guide or a guided cylinder.
To replace an existing unit, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 83 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic (no bracket) mounting, and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa the SC100 bore generates 5497 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N push.
This model (SC100X83) does not include the -S magnet option, so the piston does not carry a magnetic ring. To use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, order the SC100X83-S variant with the built-in magnet.
