About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X280TC
The SC100X280TC 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. Its 100 mm bore and 280 mm stroke suit medium-to-heavy linear actuation where a pivoting mount is required.
This model features a 25 mm diameter piston rod with M20x1.5 threads and PT3/8 ports. The integrated centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket, allows the cylinder to pivot during operation. Adjustable air cushioning decelerates the 28 mm cushion stroke to reduce end-of-travel impact.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X280TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
Pivots a diverter gate on a packaging line using the centre trunnion mount, handling product sorting with the cylinder's 3927 N push force at standard line pressure.
Clamp & Fixture Actuation
Drives a heavy-duty welding fixture clamp, using the 100 mm bore's force to hold large fabrications securely during assembly.
Press & Forming Assist
Provides the primary linear stroke in a small pneumatic press for forming sheet metal or plastics, leveraging the 7068 N maximum thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X280TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs roughly 3900-7000 N of force. For lighter loads around 2500 N, step down to the SC80 bore; for heavier demands up to 11045 N, move to the SC125. The 280 mm stroke is within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
This cylinder uses a centre trunnion mount (F-SC100TC) for pivoting motion. When replacing, match five points: 100 mm bore, 280 mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, TC mount, and the absence of a magnet. For strokes over 300 mm, consider an external guide to protect the rod from side-load bending.
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 SC100X280TC 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, the push force reaches 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder, so it is not dimensionally interchangeable. It directly replaces another AirTAC SC100 tie-rod cylinder with matching bore, stroke, PT ports, and TC mount.
