About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X140TC
The SC100X140TC is a 100 mm bore, 140 mm stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod family. Configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount, it is designed for applications requiring the cylinder body to pivot during actuation. At 0.5 MPa, it provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model uses a PT1/2 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at end-of-stroke. The body length A is 188 mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 328 mm. It operates within a standard temperature range of -20 to +70 °C using TPU seals, and is a genuine AirTAC component built for reliable industrial service.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X140TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating swinging diverter arms on packaging or sorting conveyors.
Clamping Fixtures
Delivers a strong 3927 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa, suitable for holding large workpieces in machining or welding fixtures where the cylinder needs to swing clear for loading.
Agricultural Equipment
Used in heavy-duty farming machinery for functions like chute positioning or hopper door actuation, where the pivoting action accommodates the arc of the mechanism.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X140TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100X140TC when your application needs a pivoting motion, as the centre trunnion bracket (F-SC100TC, supplied with the TCM1 bracket) allows the cylinder to swing. If your force requirement is lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore reduces push force to 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for higher force, a 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. Always ensure the trunnion pins are aligned and supported to handle the full thrust load.
For replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This SC cylinder is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders. Verify that the mounting centreline and pin dimensions match your existing setup.
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 SC100X140TC 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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC100X140TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston can drift or drop. If load holding is required, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
