About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100STC
The SC100X100STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore, 25 mm diameter piston rod, and a compact 100 mm stroke, it provides a powerful yet precise linear motion package for medium-travel clamping and pressing tasks.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, enabling rod-position feedback without external brackets. The centre trunnion mount (TC) ships with the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. TPU seals and PT ports are standard, suiting general industrial environments from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100STC Is Used
Welding Fixture Clamping
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa securely clamps steel fabrications in a pivot-action welding jig. The TC trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing as the clamp arm cycles, while the magnetic sensors confirm open/closed position.
Pallet Stop & Lift
Deploys a robust pallet stop on a conveyor line. The 100 mm stroke raises a stop gate, and the centre trunnion absorbs the pivoting motion. Sensor feedback ensures the gate is fully retracted before releasing the next pallet.
Pneumatic Toggle Press
Drives the linkage of a 0.5-tonne toggle press for light assembly or staking. The short 100 mm stroke provides a rapid advance, and the built-in magnet enables cycle counting and end-of-stroke detection for quality control.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X100STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you require less force to reduce energy consumption, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, the SC125 steps up to 6136 N. Always match the replacement cylinder on all five points: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mount, and the built-in magnet (-S). A non-magnet or differently mounted cylinder will not fit the same machine interface.
For this 100 mm stroke, side-load forces are generally well-contained by the cylinder's internal bearings, but any external misalignment or radial load should be managed with a rod-end alignment coupler or external guide rails to prevent premature rod bearing and seal wear.
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 SC100X100STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, if your old cylinder matches these five criteria: 100 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and a built-in magnet for sensors. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to other AirTAC SC series or equivalent tie-rod cylinders.
