About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X120STC
The SC100X120STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and 120 mm stroke, it features a 25 mm diameter piston rod and M20x1.5 rod thread for robust linear actuation.
This model comes factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (-TC suffix) including the TCM1 bracket for pivoting applications. The adjustable pneumatic cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke ends, protecting the cylinder and load.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X120STC Is Used
Conveyor Sorting Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates or pushers on wide conveyor lines, while the trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as the gate swings.
Clamping & Fixturing
High clamping force for CNC fixtures and welding jigs. The built-in magnet enables end-of-stroke sensing to confirm the part is securely clamped before machining starts.
Press & Forming Assist
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for light press-fit operations or bending fixtures. The adjustable cushion absorbs impact energy at retraction, reducing wear on tooling.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X120STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 for applications needing up to 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If force requirements are lower, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at the same pressure; for heavier loads, the SC125 delivers 6136 N. The 120 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
For replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with the F-SC100TC accessory, and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with that standard.
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 SC100X120STC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 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 force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is not dimensionally interchangeable. For a direct replacement, match another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with identical bore, stroke, PT ports, TC mount, and magnet option.
