About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15TC
The SC100X15TC is a compact-stroke double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 15 mm stroke suit short-throw clamping, ejecting, or positioning tasks where space is tight but force demand is high.
This model comes factory-equipped with a TC centre trunnion mount (includes TCM1 bracket, order code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion provide reliable end-of-stroke deceleration. Ports are PT1/2, and the body length A is 188 mm.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15TC Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
High force in a 15 mm travel makes this ideal for pneumatic toggle clamps, press-fit fixtures, and workpiece holding in CNC machining centres.
Part Ejection & Sorting
Rapid 15 mm push stroke ejects parts from conveyor lines or sorting gates. The trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing clear for maintenance access.
Die Cushion & Stripper Plates
Delivers controlled short-travel force for stripper plates in stamping dies or as a pneumatic die cushion, with adjustable cushioning to soften the return impact.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X15TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing more force in a similar stroke, the SC125 bore steps up to 6136 N at 0.5 MPa. If a shorter body is required, the SC80 bore delivers 2513 N. This SC100X15TC is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profiles. When replacing, match bore (100 mm), stroke (15 mm), PT1/2 ports, TC centre trunnion mount, and the non-magnetic piston. The short 15 mm stroke keeps the rod well-supported within the bearing; external guides are typically unnecessary for pure axial loads at this length.
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 SC100X15TC 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.
Yes. The TC suffix means the cylinder is built with a centre trunnion and ships with the TCM1 bracket (order code F-SC100TC). This allows the cylinder body to pivot around its centre point, accommodating angular motion in the connected load.
