About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380TC
The SC100X380TC is a double-acting pneumatic cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 7068 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. With a 100 mm bore and 380 mm stroke, it handles mid-to-heavy linear actuation tasks where a compact tie-rod body is preferred over a bulky ISO 15552 profile.
This model is factory-configured with a TC centre trunnion mount (supplied with the TCM1 bracket, part F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter piston rod and 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end provide smooth deceleration, while the PT1/2 port thread ensures straightforward pneumatic connections.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380TC Is Used
Conveyor Diverters
The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily actuates heavy-duty diverter gates on wide conveyors, while the centre trunnion mount lets the cylinder swing as the gate moves through its arc.
Press-Fit Assembly
Delivers up to 7068 N at 0.9 MPa for pressing bearings, bushings, or pins into housings. The 380 mm stroke provides ample clearance for part loading and unloading.
Agricultural Equipment Actuation
Controls chute doors or flow gates on seed and grain handling equipment. The tie-rod construction is serviceable in the field, and the trunnion mount absorbs misalignment on vibrating machinery.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X380TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC100 when the SC80’s 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa is borderline; step up to the SC125 (6136 N at 0.5 MPa) if your load exceeds 3900 N. At 380 mm stroke, the rod is long enough that side loads must be managed—use an external linear guide or a guided cylinder if the load is not perfectly axial, as bending moments on the 25 mm rod can cause premature bearing wear.
For a direct replacement, match five points: 100 mm bore, 380 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, TC centre trunnion mounting (F-SC100TC), and the absence of a magnet. This SC cylinder is shorter than an ISO 15552 unit, so dimensional interchangeability is limited to another AirTAC SC tie-rod cylinder 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 SC100X380TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3681 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 5497 N. The maximum operating force at 0.9 MPa is 7068 N push. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf (7850 N), but the rated operating range is 0.15–1.0 MPa.
No. The SC100X380TC is a double-acting cylinder that requires continuous air pressure to maintain position. If pressure is exhausted or the directional valve centres, the piston will drift or drop. For load holding without live pressure, add a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod brake.
