The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X200STC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X200STC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder that generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. With a 200 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, it is well-suited for medium-stroke clamping and pressing applications where consistent thrust is critical.
This model is factory-configured with a built-in magnet (-S suffix) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion mount (TC suffix) supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). The trunnion allows the cylinder to pivot, absorbing misalignment in swinging or articulating machine sections. The body length is 188 mm, and the adjustable air cushion on both ends is 29 mm, providing smooth deceleration at end-of-stroke.

The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot as it extends, making it ideal for actuating diverter gates on conveyor systems where the load path changes angle.
Clamps parts with up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa. The built-in magnet enables sensor feedback to confirm clamp position before the welding cycle starts, ensuring process safety.
The TC trunnion mount absorbs the arc of a swinging press arm. The adjustable cushion decelerates the 25 mm rod smoothly, preventing impact damage during high-cycle pressing of assemblies.
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs a push force around 3927 N at standard shop air (0.5 MPa). If you require roughly 2513 N, stepping down to the 80 mm bore can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavy-duty pressing near 6136 N, the 125 mm bore is the next logical step.
This 200 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always check for side loads. The 25 mm rod is robust, yet any off-axis force can cause bearing wear. For guided motion, consider pairing this cylinder with an external linear guide. When replacing an existing unit, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion mounting (TC), and the built-in magnet for sensors.
Quick checklist
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 increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100 is a double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centered. It does not have a mechanical lock. For load-holding without live pressure, you must add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
