About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180TC
The SC100X180TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 180 mm stroke. It generates a substantial push force of 3927 N at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This model is factory-configured with a TC centre trunnion mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The body length A is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 368 mm. It features PT1/2 threaded ports and adjustable pneumatic cushioning with a 29 mm cushion length to decelerate end-of-stroke loads smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa reliably actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on wide conveyor systems, while the centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing through an arc as the gate pivots.
Clamping of Large Fabrications
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments or castings in place during machining or assembly, with the TC mount simplifying alignment in pivoting clamp arms.
Agricultural Implement Control
Operates chute deflectors or hopper doors on agricultural machinery, where the centre trunnion pivot accommodates the arcing motion of the linkage and the high force handles heavy, sticky materials.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X180TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring slightly less force, the 80 mm bore SC80 series provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If the 3927 N output of the SC100 is insufficient, stepping up to the 125 mm bore is necessary, as the SC series does not offer an intermediate size. This 180 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore.
To ensure a successful replacement, match five key specifications: the 100 mm bore, 180 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The SC 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 SC100X180TC FAQ
At the standard operating pressure of 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length A (188 mm) will differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with a matching 180 mm stroke, PT ports, and TC centre trunnion mount.
