SC63×100 Standard Pneumatic Air Cylinder – 63mm Bore × 100mm Stroke – Double Acting
The SC63×100 Standard Pneumatic Air Cylinder is a heavy-duty double-acting pneumatic actuator designed for industrial automation, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling equipment and general pneumatic applications.
Featuring a 63 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, the SC63×100 provides strong, smooth and controlled linear movement using compressed air. Its robust SC-series tie-rod construction combines an aluminium cylinder barrel, strong end covers and chrome-plated steel tie rods for reliable performance in industrial machinery.
The double-acting configuration uses compressed air for both extension and retraction, providing positive movement in both directions for pushing, pulling, clamping, positioning and automated machine functions.

Double-Acting Operation
The SC63×100 has two pneumatic ports. Compressed air supplied to one side of the piston causes the piston rod to extend, while compressed air supplied to the opposite side causes the rod to retract.
A suitable pneumatic directional or solenoid valve can be used to control the cylinder. Flow-control valves may also be installed to regulate extension and retraction speed.
Theoretical Output Force
At an operating pressure of approximately 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore cylinder provides approximately 156 kgf theoretical extension force.
Actual available working force will normally be lower and depends on operating pressure, internal friction, piston rod area, load alignment and installation conditions.
Installation Recommendations
Use clean, filtered compressed air and pneumatic tubing and fittings suitable for the required operating pressure. Ensure the cylinder is aligned correctly with the moving load and avoid excessive side loading on the piston rod.
For machine design, confirm the required force, stroke, mounting arrangement and operating speed before installation.
