About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X320TC
The SC100X320TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure). Its 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion handle mid-range automation tasks with controlled end-of-stroke deceleration.
This model includes a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with TCM1 bracket, part code F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. With a 320 mm stroke and a body length A of 188 mm, the total extended length reaches approximately 508 mm, making it suitable for swinging or articulating load applications.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X320TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The pivoting TC mount and 320 mm stroke suit conveyor diverter gates, where the cylinder swings to redirect packages or materials between lanes.
Clamping Fixtures
With 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides strong, consistent clamping for welding jigs or machining fixtures that require a pivoting actuation axis.
Agricultural Equipment
The robust tie-rod construction and centre trunnion mount handle the dusty, demanding conditions of agricultural machinery, such as chute controls or bin gate actuators.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X320TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 bore when your application needs roughly 3927 N of push force at standard plant air pressure. If you need less force, the SC80 bore provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa; for more force, the SC125 delivers 6136 N at the same pressure. This 320 mm stroke model exceeds 300 mm, so evaluate side-load conditions carefully—long, unsupported strokes on a 25 mm rod can experience bending under lateral force; use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if side loads are present.
For replacement, match five key points: 100 mm bore, 320 mm stroke, PT port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (with TCM1 bracket), and no built-in magnet. This SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
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 SC100X320TC 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 SC100X320TC is a double-acting cylinder and does not hold its position when air pressure is exhausted or the directional valve is centred—the piston will drift. For load holding without live pressure, you must add a pilot-operated check valve, an external rod brake, or a mechanical lock.
