About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X83
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.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X83 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Clamping
Generates up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa to securely hold steel fabrications or castings during machining or welding, preventing workpiece shift.
Punch Press Actuation
The 83 mm stroke and high push force suit short-travel punch or stamping heads in light-gauge metal forming and riveting cells.
Product Reject Gate
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.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X83 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 SC100X83 FAQ
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.
