About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10TC
The SC100X10TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short-stroke clamping or ejecting tasks. Its 100 mm bore and 25 mm diameter piston rod provide robust thrust in a compact axial envelope, with a body length of just 188 mm.
This model comes factory-equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount (includes TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during actuation. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke, protecting tooling in high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10TC Is Used
High-Force Clamping
Delivers nearly 4000 N at standard line pressure for secure workpiece clamping in machining fixtures and welding jigs.
Short-Stroke Ejection
The 10 mm stroke is perfect for ejecting parts from dies or moulds where space is limited and force must be high.
Pivoting Diverter Gate
TC trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing, making it suitable for actuating diverter gates on conveyor lines.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X10TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100X10TC when you need high force in a very short linear stroke, such as clamping or precise positioning. If your force requirement is lower, step down to the 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) for a lighter, more compact solution. For longer strokes, the SC100 series extends up to 1500 mm standard.
For replacement, match these five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and no magnet. The SC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X10TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. Only replace with another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder matching the same bore, stroke, mounting, and port thread.
