About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240TC
The AirTAC SC100X240TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a 100 mm bore and 240 mm stroke, it handles demanding clamping, pressing, and lifting tasks in industrial automation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm air cushion provide smooth deceleration at stroke ends.
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, giving a total extended length of approximately 428 mm. Ports are PT1/2 with an M20x1.5 rod thread, and the standard TPU seals suit ambient temperatures from -20 to +70 °C.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverter Gates
The pivoting TC mount and 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa actuate heavy diverter gates on material handling lines, swinging product between lanes with smooth cushioning.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for automotive welding jigs. The trunnion mount allows the cylinder body to self-align as the clamp arm rotates.
Heavy Press Unloading
Pushes formed parts out of stamping dies with 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. The 25 mm rod and adjustable cushion handle the shock of ejecting heavy workpieces reliably.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X240TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs between 3927 N (push at 0.5 MPa) and 7068 N (push at 0.9 MPa). If force requirements are lower, stepping down to an 80 mm bore (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) reduces air consumption and physical size. For higher forces, the 125 mm bore provides 6136 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 240 mm stroke is within the standard range for the 100 mm bore (max 1500 mm). The centre trunnion mount is designed for loads that must pivot; ensure the trunnion pins are aligned and the structure can handle the reaction torque. For direct drop-in replacement, match bore, 240 mm stroke, PT1/2 ports, TC mount, and the non-magnetic piston configuration.

- ✓ 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 SC100X240TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 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 and is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. Use it to replace another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, TC mount, and PT1/2 ports.
