About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240STC
The SC100X240STC delivers a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 7068 N at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa. This double-acting cylinder uses a 25 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/2 ports, making it well-suited for medium-to-heavy pneumatic tasks where a compact tie-rod design is preferred.
This configuration includes a built-in magnet for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors and a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket. The 240 mm stroke keeps the assembly within the standard range for the 100 mm bore, while the TPU seals ensure reliable operation from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240STC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Pivoting gate or diverter arms on packaging and sortation conveyors, where the trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to swing as it extends and retracts.
Clamping Fixtures
Heavy-duty welding or machining fixtures that require a pivoting clamping arm, using the 7068 N max force to hold large workpieces securely.
Agricultural Equipment
Actuating chutes or flow-control gates on harvesters and spreaders, where the trunnion mount absorbs misalignment and the magnet confirms position.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240STC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less force, the 80 mm bore SC series cylinder provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If the 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, stepping up to the 125 mm bore offers 6136 N. The centre trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot during operation, which is ideal for swinging loads, but always ensure the rod end is aligned to avoid side loading. For a direct replacement, match the 100 mm bore, 240 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, TC mount with TCM1 bracket, and the integrated magnet sensor capability.
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 SC100X240STC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 3927 N pushing and 3681 N pulling. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No, the SC series is double-acting and does not lock in place when air is exhausted or the valve centers. The piston will drift or drop under load. To hold a position safely, you must add an external rod brake, a pilot-operated check valve, or a mechanical lock.
