About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000TC
The AirTAC SC100X1000TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder engineered for long linear strokes in pivoting applications. With a 100 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke, it generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (part code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot as it actuates. The tie-rod construction keeps the overall body length to 188 mm plus stroke, making it shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It includes an adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000TC Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
Provides a 1000 mm linear throw for pushing or pulling heavy bins and pallets across roller conveyors, with the trunnion mount absorbing alignment shifts.
Pivoting Clamp Fixtures
The TC centre trunnion allows the cylinder body to swing, making it ideal for welding jigs and assembly fixtures where the tooling must retract completely.
Farm Implement Actuation
Delivers high force for long-travel movements on agricultural equipment like chute diverters or gate openers, operating reliably on filtered compressed air.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1000TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 for applications needing around 3927 N of force at standard plant pressure; stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces force to 2513 N, while moving up to a 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. The 1000 mm stroke is within the standard maximum of 1500 mm for this bore.
For strokes of this length, never subject the rod to side loads without an external guide. The unsupported 25 mm rod can bend under lateral force, leading to bearing wear and seal failure. To replace an existing cylinder, match bore, stroke, PT port thread, the TC centre trunnion mount, and the absence of a magnet option exactly.
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 SC100X1000TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa (7 bar) supply pressure, the SC100 bore generates a theoretical push force of 5497 N. The pull force on the return stroke is 3681 N due to the 25 mm rod reducing the effective piston area.
No. The SC100 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centred. To hold a load or position without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock, a mechanical brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
