About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600TC
This AirTAC SC100X1600TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a non-standard 1600 mm stroke, delivering a push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide reliable deceleration for heavy linear movements.
The TC suffix denotes a centre trunnion mount, supplied complete with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). This pivoting mount allows the cylinder to swing during operation, ideal for applications where the load path is an arc. With standard PT ports (PT1/2) and TPU seals, it operates from -20 to +70 °C on filtered air at 0.15–1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600TC Is Used
Long-Stroke Material Handling
The 1600 mm stroke and 3927 N push force move heavy pallets or bins across wide transfer stations, with the trunnion mount absorbing misalignment during the long travel.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Operates large chute gates or diverter flaps on harvesters and spreaders. The centre trunnion allows the cylinder body to pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Pivoting Clamp on Large Jigs
Provides the clamping force for oversized welding or assembly fixtures. The TC mount lets the cylinder swing clear for part loading and unloading.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X1600TC the Right Cylinder?
Select the SC100 when your application requires around 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. For a step down in force, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for more force, the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. At this 1600 mm stroke, the rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads—always guide the load externally or use a rod-alignment coupler to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 1600 mm stroke (non-standard), PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and confirm the magnet option (this model has no built-in magnet).
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 SC100X1600TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar) the push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf. The pull force on retraction is 3681 N at 0.5 MPa due to the 25 mm rod area.
A 1600 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod requires external guidance. Do not allow the rod to take side loads. Use a guide rail system parallel to the cylinder or a rigid rod coupler with a linear bearing to ensure only axial force is transmitted to the piston rod.
