About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230STC
The SC100X230STC delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, making it a powerful solution for medium-to-heavy industrial linear motion. This double-acting, tie-rod cylinder features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and an adjustable air cushion length of 29 mm to decelerate the 230 mm stroke smoothly.
This specific model comes factory-equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and a centre trunnion (TC) mount including the TCM1 bracket, allowing the cylinder to pivot and handle swinging loads. With a body length A of 188 mm and PT1/2 ports, it is a genuine AirTAC component built for reliable, high-cycle applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230STC Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and pivoting TC mount make this cylinder ideal for actuating diverter gates and stops on conveyor lines, handling heavy packages with smooth, cushioned end-of-stroke deceleration.
Clamping & Stamping Fixtures
Delivering up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, this cylinder provides the high clamping pressure needed in machining centres and stamping fixtures, with sensor-ready magnets confirming full extension and retraction.
Pivoting Machine Guards
The integrated TC centre trunnion allows the cylinder body to swing, making it a direct fit for opening and closing heavy safety guards or hoods on industrial machinery without complex linkages.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications requiring more force, consider stepping up to the 125 mm bore (6136 N at 0.5 MPa); for a lighter, more compact solution, the 80 mm bore provides 2513 N. The 230 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring standard lead times. The centre trunnion mount is ideal for pivoting applications, but ensure the load is guided to prevent side-loading the rod bearings.
To guarantee a drop-in replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, the -S magnet option for sensors, and the TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC100TC). This tie-rod cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile and is not dimensionally interchangeable with those standards.
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 SC100X230STC 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 0.9 MPa, the push force reaches 7068 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X230STC is a double-acting cylinder and will not hold its position if air pressure is exhausted or lost. The adjustable air cushion only softens the end-of-stroke impact. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve or an external mechanical rod lock.
