About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150STC
The SC100X150STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), built around a 100 mm bore and a 25 mm diameter piston rod. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and ships with the TC centre trunnion mount plus TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot under load.
With a 150 mm stroke, the extended body length is approximately 338 mm (A=188 mm + stroke). The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at end-of-travel, protecting the end caps. Ports are PT1/2, and the rod thread is M20x1.5. This is a genuine AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder, shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and not interchangeable with it.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines, while the centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments or machined parts. The built-in magnet provides clamp/unclamp confirmation via barrel-mounted sensors.
Press & Forming Assist
Suitable as a low-pressure assist cylinder in light forming or laminating presses. The 29 mm adjustable cushion absorbs impact energy, reducing noise and wear during high-cycle operation.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150STC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3900 N of push force at standard shop air. If you can accept a smaller footprint, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may save space and air consumption. For higher force, move up to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa).
For replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the -S magnet for sensor compatibility, and the TC centre trunnion mounting style (F-SC100TC bracket). The trunnion pivot is ideal for swinging loads, but ensure the rod end is guided if side forces are present.
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 SC100X150STC 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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf (7850 N).
No. The SC100 is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold position if air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. For load holding, you must add an external rod brake, a mechanical lock, or a pilot-operated check valve.
