About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30TC
The SC100X30TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa). With a short 30 mm stroke and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, this model is built for compact, high-force clamping, pressing, or ejecting tasks where space is limited.
This configuration includes a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder body to pivot during operation. The tie-rod construction, PT1/2 ports, and adjustable air cushion at both ends ensure reliable deceleration and long service life in demanding industrial sequences.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30TC Is Used
High-Force Clamping
The 3927 N output at 0.5 MPa makes this short-stroke cylinder perfect for pneumatic toggle clamps or direct workpiece clamping in machining fixtures.
Part Ejection
Delivers a powerful, brief push to eject formed parts from injection molds or stamping dies, where the trunnion mount allows the cylinder to pivot into position.
Diverting Gates
Mounted on a centre trunnion, the SC100X30TC can actuate a diverter gate on a conveyor line, using its high force to redirect heavy packages reliably.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X30TC the Right Cylinder?
For higher force in the same bore class, the SC100 provides 3927 N at 0.5 MPa; if your application needs less force, the SC80 delivers 2513 N at the same pressure. The 30 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum for this bore, ensuring standard lead times.
When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The TC mount is ideal for applications where the cylinder must swing through an arc, but ensure the trunnion pins are aligned to prevent binding.
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 SC100X30TC FAQ
At the standard 0.5 MPa operating pressure, the push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the push force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
Yes, the 'TC' suffix indicates it is supplied with a centre trunnion mount and TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC). This allows the cylinder body to pivot, making it suitable for swinging loads, provided the mounting pins are securely fixed and aligned.
