The AirTAC Airtac SCD Standard Cylinder SCD100X75S is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø25mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø100mm bore, 75mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The SCD100X75S delivers perfectly symmetrical motion with 3681 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, thanks to its through-rod design where the 25 mm rod passes through both end caps. This 100 mm bore double-rod cylinder is a natural fit for applications that need a rear rod end for mounting a sensor flag, a mechanical stop, or secondary tooling, all while keeping the stroke force identical in each direction.
At 0.9 MPa the thrust rises to 6626 N each way, and the built-in magnet (the -S suffix) lets you clamp CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the tie-rod barrel for clean, external position sensing without extra brackets. The adjustable air cushion on both ends (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly, and the body length A(SCD) is 263 mm, making it compact for a 100 mm bore unit with a 75 mm stroke.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCD (double-rod) datasheet. Because the rod runs through both caps, the effective area is (bore² − rod²) in both directions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf | |
Push and pull are EQUAL on a double-rod cylinder — both chambers lose the rod area, so effective area = (bore² − rod²) each way. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

With a rod on both ends, this cylinder can push or pull a load from either side with exactly 3681 N of force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for symmetrical transfer mechanisms where the tooling is mounted on the rear rod.
The -S magnet allows a CMSG or DMSG sensor to be placed on the rear barrel section, detecting the piston position via the rear rod's movement—perfect when the front rod end is enclosed or inaccessible.
The dual-rod support provides better resistance to rod rotation than a single-rod cylinder, making the SCD100X75S a solid choice for simple pushing or ejecting tasks where the tooling must not twist.
Step up to the SCD125 bore if your application needs more than 5734 N of force at 0.5 MPa; step down to the SCD80 bore (2268 N at 0.5 MPa) if you can trade force for a lighter, more compact cylinder. If you only need a rod on one end, the single-rod SC100 series is a simpler, lower-cost alternative. For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet option—this SCD100X75S is a drop-in swap for another AirTAC SCD100X75S. Because the double rod extends from both ends, be mindful of the clearance needed behind the cylinder; the rear rod will protrude by the same 75 mm stroke length.
Double-rod checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, the push and pull forces are identical. At 0.5 MPa you get 3681 N, at 0.7 MPa it is 5153 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the force reaches 6626 N in both directions.
Choose the SCD when you need equal force and speed in both directions, or when you want to use the rear rod to carry a sensor flag, a stop collar, or secondary tooling. The through-rod also provides better guidance and anti-rotation than a single-rod SC, though it is not a substitute for a fully guided cylinder under significant side loads.
