About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360TC
The SC100X360TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering a substantial 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa (7068 N at 0.9 MPa), making it a capable actuator for medium-to-heavy industrial linear motion. This model features a 100 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, and a 25 mm diameter piston rod, with adjustable air cushioning (29 mm length) at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly.
Supplied with a centre trunnion mount (TC), the cylinder pivots on the F-SC100TC bracket assembly, which includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket for direct mounting into a clevis-style fixture. The body length A is 188 mm, resulting in a total extended length of approximately 548 mm. It uses a standard PT1/2 port and operates on filtered air from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360TC Is Used
Material Handling Gates
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa and pivoting trunnion mount allow this cylinder to actuate diverter gates or chutes on conveyor lines, smoothly redirecting product flow.
Clamping & Fixturing
Delivers up to 7068 N of clamping force at 0.9 MPa for holding large weldments or castings in machining centres, with the trunnion mount absorbing misalignment.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Used on harvesters or spreaders for pivoting chutes or adjusting header angles, where the trunnion mount handles the swinging motion and the tie-rod design tolerates dusty conditions.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X360TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when your application needs force between the SC80 (2513 N at 0.5 MPa) and the larger SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa). For this 360 mm stroke, ensure the load is guided externally if any side forces are present; the 25 mm rod can experience bending stress under off-axis loads at this extension. The TC centre trunnion mount is ideal for applications requiring the cylinder body to pivot during the stroke arc.
For a direct replacement, match these five points: 100 mm bore, 360 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and no magnet. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC100 of the same configuration.
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 SC100X360TC FAQ
At 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the theoretical push force is 5497 N. The pull force on the retract stroke at the same pressure is 3681 N, accounting for the 25 mm rod area.
No. The SC100X360TC is a standard double-acting cylinder and will drift or drop if pressure is exhausted. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. For position holding without live pressure, add an external rod brake or a pilot-operated check valve.
