About the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40TC
The AirTAC SC100X40TC is a double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for short, high-force clamping or pressing tasks. With a 100 mm bore and a compact 40 mm stroke, it provides a powerful yet space-efficient solution for applications requiring a pivoting mount.
This model features a centre trunnion (TC) mount, supplied with the TCM1 bracket (F-SC100TC), allowing the cylinder to pivot during operation. The 25 mm diameter rod and PT1/2 ports ensure robust flow for rapid cycling, while the adjustable air cushion decelerates the 40 mm stroke smoothly.

Where the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40TC Is Used
Pivoting Clamp
High-force clamping of workpieces on a rotating fixture, using the trunnion mount to follow the clamp arm's arc.
Part Diverter
Quickly extends to divert heavy packages on a conveyor line, with the trunnion allowing the cylinder body to swing.
Die Cushion
Provides a controlled, high-force cushion or knockout action in a small die set, pivoting to maintain alignment.
Is the Airtac SC100 Standard Cylinder SC100X40TC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing a pivoting cylinder with high force in a short stroke, the SC100X40TC is an excellent choice. If your force requirements are lower, consider stepping down to the SC80 bore, which provides 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For longer strokes, the SC100 bore supports up to 1500 mm as standard.
When replacing this cylinder, ensure the new unit matches these five key points: 100 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mount, and no magnet. The short stroke minimizes rod bearing stress, but always align the trunnion axis correctly 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 SC100X40TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa (5 bar), the push force is 3927 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the force increases to 7068 N. The theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 801 kgf.
The TC model includes the centre trunnion and TCM1 bracket for pivoting applications. If you need a basic mount without a bracket, the standard SC100X40 model is the correct choice. The trunnion is integral to the TC variant.
