About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150TC
The SC100X150TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 100 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke, this model is built on a rugged tie-rod body with a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port threads, making it a strong mid-range actuator for industrial linear motion.
This specific configuration includes a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC100TC) that allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The standard TPU seals provide reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C, and the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters & Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and centre trunnion mount make this cylinder suitable for pivoting diverter arms on packaging lines, smoothly redirecting products without excessive air consumption.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Delivers a firm 7068 N clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding steel fabrications or automotive sub-assemblies. The TC mount lets the fixture pivot to accommodate part geometry.
Press & Forming Assist
Provides consistent linear thrust for light press-fit operations or bending dies. The 29 mm adjustable cushion protects tooling by absorbing kinetic energy at the stroke end.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X150TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 4000 N of force at standard plant air pressure; for lighter loads around 2500 N, stepping down to the SC80 bore can reduce air consumption and physical size. For strokes of 300 mm or more, carefully evaluate side-load conditions—long, unsupported rods are susceptible to bending under lateral forces, and an external guide or a guided cylinder should be used to protect the rod bearing and seals.
When replacing an existing cylinder, confirm these five points to ensure a direct match: 100 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting accessory, and the absence of a built-in magnet. This 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 SC100X150TC 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, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X150TC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at the end of stroke—it is not a locking or holding brake. For load holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
