About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225TC
The SC100X225TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. Its 225 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for the 100 mm bore, making it a readily available configuration for medium-reach linear actuation.
This model ships with the TC centre trunnion mount and TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 port thread provide robust connection and flow capacity, while the 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce end-of-stroke impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy diverter gates on wide conveyor lines. The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder body pivot as the gate swings through its arc.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers consistent, high-force clamping for machining fixtures and welding jigs. The adjustable cushion prevents part disturbance during rapid clamp closure at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Suited for pivoting chutes, hopper doors, and bale handling arms on farm machinery. The TPU seals handle dusty conditions within the standard -20 to +70 °C temperature range.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X225TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3900 N of force at standard 0.5 MPa shop air. If your load is lighter (around 2500 N), stepping down to the SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) can reduce air consumption and physical size. For higher force demands near 6100 N, the SC125 bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) is the next step up.
This 225 mm stroke cylinder uses a centre trunnion pivot, so ensure the mounting structure can handle the reaction torque. For strokes over 300 mm, always check for potential rod bending from side loads—an external linear guide or a guided cylinder may be necessary. When replacing an existing unit, match five points: 100 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting, and confirm whether a magnet (-S) is needed for sensors.
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 SC100X225TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and pull force is 3681 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter overall body length than ISO 15552 profile cylinders, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC trunnion mount.
