About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X212TC
The SC100X212TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), built for applications that need a 100 mm bore and a 212 mm stroke. Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port supply ample flow for consistent cycling in automation, pressing, and material-handling tasks.
This model comes factory-assembled with the TC centre trunnion mount and matching TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot as the rod extends and retracts. The adjustable air cushion at each end (29 mm cushion length) decelerates the piston smoothly, reducing end-of-stroke shock without any mechanical locking function.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X212TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters & Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter arms and product gates on wide conveyor lines, while the trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot through the arc of motion.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers high holding force for weld fixtures and assembly jigs. The centre trunnion allows the cylinder to self-align as the clamp engages, reducing rod side-load.
Press & Forming Assist
With 7068 N available at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder handles light press-fit, forming, and stamping assist operations where a compact tie-rod design fits tight machine frames.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X212TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your load requires roughly 3900–4000 N at standard plant pressure. If you can accept a smaller envelope, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) may save space; for heavier loads the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N. Because the 212 mm stroke is moderate, side-load bending on the 25 mm rod is typically manageable, but any off-axis force still calls for an external guide or linear rail.
For a correct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 212 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, TC centre-trunnion mounting (with TCM1 bracket), and the absence of a barrel magnet. This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.
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 SC100X212TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes with 3927 N; at 0.7 MPa it delivers 5497 N, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa it reaches 7068 N. Pull force on the retract stroke is slightly lower due to the 25 mm rod area—3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
Not directly. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so mounting dimensions and body length (188 mm body + 212 mm stroke) differ. It is a direct replacement only for another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC trunnion mount.
