AirTAC BSCD100 Double-Rod Rod-Lock Cylinder, 100 mm Bore

The AirTAC BSCD100 is a double-rod, double-acting rod-lock tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 25 mm piston rod. The rod runs through both end covers, so push and pull are equal: 3682 N at 0.5 MPa and 5154 N at 0.7 MPa. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.

All BSCD100 versions share 1/2" air ports, an M20×1.5 rod thread and 29 mm adjustable air cushions. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 0.7 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 44 stock order codes with strokes from 25 to 1000 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 1000 mm.

The BSCD100 is the SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder with a compact clamping unit built in. Springs apply clamp plates to the piston rod and air releases them, so the rod can be locked at any point of the stroke, in either direction and whether it is extended or retracted. Static holding force at this bore is 5500 N. The clamp has its own G1/8 port and releases at 0.15 to 0.7 MPa; it can also be released by hand. The holding force is a static rating: stop the rod first, then clamp it.
