The AirTAC Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X300TC is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The AirTAC SC100X300TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 100 mm bore and 300 mm stroke make it a powerful linear drive for medium-to-heavy industrial tasks, while the 25 mm diameter piston rod provides excellent rigidity for pushing and clamping operations.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot and self-align during actuation. The adjustable air cushion (29 mm length) decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends, reducing impact noise and wear. Operating on 40 µm filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it uses standard PT ports and TPU seals for a temperature range of -20 to +70 °C.

The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy-duty diverter gates and product stops on wide conveyor lines, with the trunnion mount allowing the cylinder to swing as the gate moves.
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large workpieces during welding, machining, or assembly. The adjustable cushion protects the fixture from impact at the end of the 300 mm stroke.
The centre trunnion mount is ideal for linkages that need to pivot, such as bin tippers, hopper doors, or large robotic arms, where the cylinder body must self-align with the moving load.
Choose the SC100 when your application needs around 4000 N of force at standard plant pressure. If you can step down to 2513 N, the lighter SC80 reduces air consumption and physical size; if you need over 6100 N, move up to the SC125. For this 300 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided and avoid side forces on the rod—long unsupported strokes can cause rod bending and premature bearing wear. Add external guides or a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting with TCM1 bracket, and the standard TPU seal. This cylinder does not have a built-in magnet; if you need position sensing, select the -S variant and add CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
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.
The TC suffix means this cylinder is built with a centre trunnion for pivoting applications. The trunnion is an integral part of the assembly and ships with the TCM1 bracket. If you need a fixed foot mount instead, order the LB variant (SC100X300LB) or a basic cylinder without a mount.
