About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230TC
The SC100X230TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa operating pressure. With a 100 mm bore and 230 mm stroke, this tie-rod actuator uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it a robust choice for medium-to-heavy linear motion tasks.
This model includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation—ideal for swinging or articulating loads. The body length A is 188 mm, and the adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at each end of stroke.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and pivoting TC mount allow this cylinder to reliably swing diverter arms on medium-duty package-handling conveyors.
Clamping & Fixturing
With a 230 mm stroke and up to 7068 N of force at 0.9 MPa, it delivers the high clamping pressure needed for CNC weld fixtures and assembly jigs.
Material Lift & Tilt Mechanisms
The centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder pivot freely, making it suitable for tilting bins or lifting platforms where the load path changes angle during motion.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X230TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; if you can work with about 2513 N, stepping down to an SC80 reduces size and air consumption. For strokes of 300 mm or more, always evaluate side-load and rod-bearing bending—long unsupported rods can deflect under lateral force, and an external guide or a guided cylinder is recommended to protect the rod bearing and seals.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points: 100 mm bore, 230 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and confirm whether a magnet (-S) is needed for sensors. This SC100X230TC is a direct swap for another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder with 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 SC100X230TC FAQ
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, push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC100X230TC is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end—it is not a locking or brake feature. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
