About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215TC
The SC100X215TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder from the AirTAC SC tie-rod series, combining a 100 mm bore with a 215 mm stroke. It generates a substantial 3927 N of push force and 3681 N of pull force when operated at 0.5 MPa, making it a powerful actuator for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks.
This specific configuration includes a centre trunnion mount (TC), supplied with the TCM1 bracket, which allows the cylinder body to pivot as it strokes—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end help manage the high kinetic energy of the 100 mm bore, ensuring smooth deceleration at the end of the 215 mm travel.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215TC Is Used
Clamping & Pressing
The 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa makes this cylinder ideal for heavy-duty clamping fixtures and small pneumatic presses, securely holding workpieces during machining or assembly.
Part Diverter Gates
With its centre trunnion mount, the SC100X215TC can pivot to actuate diverter gates on conveyor systems, reliably sorting or redirecting heavy packages and materials.
Pivoting Machine Guards
The trunnion mount allows the cylinder to swing an interlocked safety guard open or closed, providing a robust and controlled movement for heavy protective panels.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X215TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring a force class around 3900 N at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore is the right choice. If your load is lighter, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For heavier loads, a 125 mm bore (6136 N push at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up.
The centre trunnion (TC) mount is the defining feature of this model, designed for loads that need to pivot. When replacing this cylinder, ensure the new unit matches these five points: 100 mm bore, 215 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion mounting (F-SC100TC), and no built-in magnet. Since the stroke exceeds 200 mm, be mindful of side loads on the 25 mm rod; any lateral force can cause rod bending or bearing wear, so an external guide or a guided cylinder is strongly recommended for unsupported loads.
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 SC100X215TC FAQ
The theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa is 3927 N, and the pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. These values are based on the 100 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
No. The AirTAC SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. For a direct, dimensional drop-in replacement, you must use another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with the same 215 mm stroke, PT ports, and centre trunnion mount (F-SC100TC).
