About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500STC
The SC100X1500STC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa) from its 100 mm bore. With a full 1500 mm stroke — the maximum standard length for this bore — it suits long-travel linear tasks where consistent pneumatic force is needed across the entire cycle.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, plus a centre trunnion mount (TC) supplied with the TCM1 bracket for pivoting installation. The 25 mm diameter hard-chrome rod, PT1/2 ports and 29 mm adjustable air cushion complete a robust package for demanding factory automation.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500STC Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Transfer
The 1500 mm stroke and centre trunnion pivot make this cylinder ideal for transferring panels, sheets or bins between distant conveyor stations, with sensors confirming end-of-travel.
Automated Welding Positioners
Delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa to clamp and position large weldments. The trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing, accommodating fixture movement without side-loading the rod.
Pallet Dispenser Pushers
Pushes entire pallet stacks across a 1.5 m travel. The adjustable cushion decelerates the 100 mm bore piston smoothly, preventing pallet bounce at the end of stroke.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1500STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your load requires roughly 3900–4000 N at standard shop pressure. If you can accept lower force, stepping down to an SC80 bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) saves space and air consumption; for heavier loads the SC125 bore delivers 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. At 1500 mm stroke, side-load management is critical — an unsupported 25 mm rod at full extension can bend under offset loads. Use an external linear guide or a guided-cylinder assembly to protect the rod bearing and piston seals. When replacing, match bore (100 mm), stroke (1500 mm), PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion mounting (TC + TCM1), and the magnet option (-S) to retain sensor functionality.
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 SC100X1500STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (≈73 psi) the 100 mm bore generates 3927 N push force. At 0.7 MPa it rises to 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. Pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the 25 mm rod area: 3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is shorter in overall length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the mounting dimensions and body length (188 mm + 1500 mm stroke) differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, centre trunnion mount and magnet option.
